    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 27-year-old had an impressive outing with Spurs in the 2023-24 campaign as he scored 11 league goals in 28 appearances, but he was left out of the Brazil squad at Copa America 2024 due to a hamstring injury. The Brazilian, however, aims to improve his game further while staying in the Premier League to secure a spot in the national team squad for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, United States and Mexico.
