Tottenham tried to trick the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White at Nottingham Forest, but were stopped by the club quickly extending the England international. The Premier League’s former best tackler, Joao Palhinha, is being hunted, but this too is a long shot. Now it is reported that Spurs are aiming even higher, for a player who will become a key player in Thomas Frank’s football.
Rodrygo, along with Vinicius and Jude Bellingham, was the trio that scored Real Madrid to the biggest titles in 2023/24. Then Kylian Mbappe entered the stage, the quartet didn’t work and the titles didn’t happen. Then Xabi Alonso took over the reins at Real Madrid and Rodrygo has gone from “untouchable” to being heavily linked to exit.
