Colombian midfielder Richard Rios has been linked with a move away from Palmeiras this month and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on securing his signature.
They are looking to improve their midfield unit, and they have also been linked with Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi.
According to CaughtOffside, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou wants to sign the 24-year-old Colombian midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done.
The London club have already seen an offer rejected for the player, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an improved offer to sign the player. Meanwhile, the player has a €100 million release clause in his contract and clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest are keen on the player as well.
Palmeiras could look to demand a premium for their prized asset and Tottenham will have to break the bank for him. They need more quality in the middle of the park and the 24-year-old could be an excellent acquisition.
Rios has proven himself for club and country and he was excellent in the Copa America last year. The 24-year-old is a complete midfielder who will add creativity, drive and defensive cover to the Tottenham midfield. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football and he could be a key player for Tottenham in the coming seasons.
He is yet to enter the peak years of his career, and he could improve further with coaching and gametime. Regular football in England could accelerate his development. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be quite exciting for the player, and he will look to push for major trophies with Tottenham if the move goes through.
