Worth the fuss?
Turning 21 years old today, the Brazilian winger has a bright future ahead of him and has shown at Bordeaux this season signs that he is ready to take his career to the next level.
Scoring eight goals and assists six more in 25 appearances, the versatile attacker is producing well for a player of his age, especially when you consider Bordeaux aren’t exactly blessed with exceptional talent, currently sitting mid-table in Ligue 1.
Surrounded by better players at the likes of Spurs he could shine further and it’s clear from this season’s performances that Mauricio Pochettino’s side need natural width, which is something the youngster could definitely provide.
With big clubs sniffing around his signature, Spurs shouldn’t waste time in attempting to bring him to London. If he moves to a big club this summer, he has enough talent that they could come to regret not moving for him when they had the opportunity.
