Tottenham are back in the Brazilian press after their players inspired a goal celebration in the Brazilian Cup, and the link arrived through Rayan… A forward who has been strongly associated with Spurs in recent months.
The story was outlined by Globo Esporte in Brazil. They compared the scenes at Maracanã to what Tottenham produced in the Champions League the previous night.
Rayan scored Vasco’s equaliser in a 2-1 win over Fluminense and immediately sat on a bench by the byline, posing for photographers while his teammates stood beside him.
The image caught attention in Brazil because it mirrored Tottenham’s celebration against Slavia Prague in London. Mohamed Kudus scored and sat for a photo with Richarlison and Spence on either side.
Kudus has used this pose as a trademark celebration since his West Ham days. Now the sequence in the Champions League went viral.
It’s fair to highlight the timing: Spurs had been heavily linked with Rayan recently. As a result, the similarity between both celebrations only reinforced the resonance of Tottenham’s name around the player.
There is no suggestion that the celebration carries any hidden message, but the coincidence kept the Premier League club in the spotlight in Brazil.
Whether this adds any new twist to Rayan’s future is unclear for now. Yet his name continues to surface whenever Tottenham make the news in Brazil.
