Tottenham make approach to sign Rayan as Joe Lewis mentioned in Brazilian news

Tottenham are interested in Rayan and have enquired about him at Vasco da Gama, according to Vascaino.

Namechecking Spurs owner Joe Lewis, the Brazilian outlet reported via their website on Wednesday (30 October) that the North London club view the 18-year-old as an option to bolster their ranks and are prepared to enter the race to sign him.

Ange Postecoglou’s side face competition from Lyon, who have already made an offer and are in talks over a potential deal.

Rayan has a whopping £53.4million release clause in his contract, but Vasco are ready to sell him for around £15million as they look to improve their financial situation.

Tottenham could add another gem to their ranks with Rayan

Tottenham have recruited a few players in their late teens to their team in recent transfer windows and Rayan could potentially be the latest in the list.

The jury is still out on this strategy, but it appears the North London club are persisting with it for the time being.

Alejo Veliz arrived from Rosario Central last year and while he is on his second loan spell in Spain, a permanent exit is already being speculated. Ashley Phillips is also in his second temporary stint away from the club after arriving last year.

Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, though, have remained with Postecoglou’s side after joining Spurs in the summer.

They could be joined by Yang Min-hyeok when his transfer from Gangwon goes through in January.

While it is exciting to add talented players to the team, there is a question to be asked about these players potentially blocking the pathways for youngsters already in the club’s youth setup.

In other Tottenham news, Postecoglou has made a decision regarding Timo Werner’s future at the club.
