Tottenham to rival West Ham for talented Brazilian playmaker Igor Gomes

The
22-year-old
playmaker
is
being
tipped
to
leave
the
club
in
favour
of
a
move
to
Europe
and
alongside
West
Ham,
Spurs
also
have
reportedly
joined
the
race.

And
with
this
rumour
doing
the
rounds,
we
take
a
look
at
his
playing
style,
potential
transfer
fee
and
if
he
suits
the
Premier
League.

Playing
Style

Gomes
has
raised
many
eyebrows
with
his
performances
in
the
Brazilian
top-flight
recently.
Despite
being
promoted
to
the
Sao
Paulo
senior
side
in
2019,
he
already
has
featured
in
over
100
appearances.
His
eight
goals
and
nine
assists
may
not
look
attractive,
but
he
has
been
a
real
asset
for
the
side.

The
Brazilian,
who
has
been
termed
as
‘new
Kaka’ is
quite
versatile
and
is
mostly
a
number
ten
that
can
also
operate
in
a
deep-lying
playmaker’s
role
and
even
as
a
right-sided
midfielder
if
required.

Transfer
Fee

Sao
Paulo
reportedly
are
in
a
crisis
and
need
to
raise
funds
to
avoid
any
disruption
in
their
financial
books.
It
is
understood
that
for
that
reason
they
are
ready
to
cash
in
on
the
talented
22-year-old
who
could
be
available
for
as
low
as
€10
million.

Should
Spurs
sign
the
Brazilian
ace?

Spurs
already
have
a
number
of
options
in
the
attacking
midfield
position
with
the
likes
of
Giovani
Lo
Celso,
Dele
Alli
and
Tanguy
Ndombele
all
competing
for
the
number
ten
slot.

So,
the
signing
of
the
Brazilian
midfielder
may
look
odd.
However,
a
fee
of
just
€10
million
certainly
makes
the
22-year-old
an
ideal
cost-effective
addition.

He
would
be
a
great
addition
for
improving
the
bench
and
if
he
impresses
in
the
process,
could
hope
of
becoming
a
regular
starter
in
near
future.
