Tottenham signed Carlos Vinicius on loan for the rest of this season just before the international transfer window was shut.
The Lilywhites had been looking for a new striker for much of the summer before they landed the former Rio Ave man.
His manager at Rio Ave, Jose Gomes has praised him and tipped him to be a success at Spurs.
His career has been developing fine since he moved to Europe and last season was arguably his best domestic season on the continent
He scored 19 league goals for Benfica to earn the move to North London on an initial loan deal.
Gomes claims that the striker can sense where to stay and get a chance to score and he can also shoot well.
He also praises the striker’s mobility and his hold up play which drags defenders to himself and also claimed that both Spurs and the striker will benefit from the move.
“He’s a powerful player, and very intelligent,” Gomes told The Athletic. “He is someone who always gets himself into goalscoring positions.
“He has a great sense for where opportunities are going to appear. He shoots with enormous power with his left foot. He protects the ball really well – even when defenders are pressuring him, he is able to shield the ball and turn his man to get a shot in.
“I used him as a No.9, a penalty-box striker. But we looked to make the most of his mobility: he likes to make diagonal runs into wide areas, behind the full-backs.
“He’s someone who holds the ball up well, which allows the rest of the team to move up the pitch and start an attack, or just take a breath. He was our reference point in attacking transitions.
“English football is very intense, and very demanding for strikers. But I think he will show what he can do.
“He will help the team – by holding up the ball, by finding space to get a shot off, by giving opposition centre-backs plenty to think about when he is near the area.
“It’s a good move for Vinicius and for Tottenham. This is a win-win for both parties.”
Left footed, bonus points right there.
