Colombian international midfielder Richard Rios has been linked with a move to the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the player this month.

The 24-year-old has a €100 million release clause in his contract, but Tottenham are unwilling to pay that kind of money for him. It will be interesting to see if they can secure a reasonable agreement with Palmeiras.

According to reports from Caracol Radio and AS Colombia, a fee of around $20 million (£16.5m) could get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can convince the Brazilian club to accept a reasonable offer for the player.

The 24-year-old has established himself as a key player for club and country, and he has shown his quality during the Copa America last year. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League and he could be an important signing for Tottenham.

The London club needs to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the 24-year-old could be a complete midfielder for them. He will help out defensively and add creativity and drive to the side as well.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an exciting one for the player and he will look to test himself in English football. Tottenham could provide him with the platform to push for trophies in the coming season. They have an exciting project and a talented squad at their disposal.

Clubs like Everton are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can win the race for his signature. They need to improve their squad if they want to compete for major trophies, and the South American would be a quality long-term investment for them.
