Tottenham have identified Rodrygo as the perfect replacement for Son Heung-min. The club captain has confirmed he will leave the club this summer after helping them win their first trophy in 17 years in the form of the Europa League, and is set to join MLS side Los Angeles FC. With Son leaving, Spurs are now aiming to lure Rodrygo away from Real Madrid.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    According to the AS, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is keen on bringing the Brazilian winger, who has struggled for game time at Real Madrid since Kylian Mbappe's free transfer to the club last summer. Rodrygo has, however, shown no interest in leaving Santiago Bernabeu in this transfer window.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report adds that Spurs are aware of Liverpool's rival interest in Rodrygo and the Reds might take concrete steps to sign the winger, now that Newcastle United have rejected their initial bid of £120m ($159m) for their star forward Alexander Isak.    

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    According to the Daily Mail, the Reds might come back with an improved second bid for Isak, but only if Newcastle make steps towards signing a replacement first.

    WHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM

    Before making a formal move for Rodrygo, Spurs will first try and secure a transfer for Palhinha from Bayern Munich, a player that new manager Thomas Frank desperately wants to sign.
