‘Extraordinary’ Brazilian winger is now being pushed towards Tottenham Hotspur
Journalist Dean Jones of GiveMeSport, who also included Tottenham’s position on Raphinha, claims as much.
What information has been released on Raphinha and Tottenham Hotspur? Let’s examine this.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Raphinha, a winger for Barcelona, advanced
The winger for Barcelona and the Brazil national team, Raphinha, is reportedly being pushed towards Tottenham Hotspur for a possible January transfer window, according to journalist Dean Jones of GiveMeSport.
The former Leeds United winger has not been invited to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to Jones, who also stated that Tottenham has not accepted “the bait.”
My View: Tottenham Hotspur do not need Raphinha
I believe that Raphinha from Barcelona does not need to be signed by Tottenham Hotspur during the January transfer window.
Even if Raphinha is an excellent player, the Spurs are not now in a dire need of him.
Spurs have an adequate number of wide players and wingers.For the Spurs, Dejan Kulusevski is performing well, and Brendan Johnson is contributing as well.
Yes, there have been concerns about injuries, but I don’t think Tottenham should sign a 27-year-old winger to a permanent deal for £198,0000 a week (Salary) for a few weeks.
Notwithstanding, I have to admit that it wouldn’t be a horrible signing if Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy decides to part with the cash and sign the Brazil international winger this month, even if it’s just on a loan.
Raphinha performed admirably in the Premier League while at Leeds, earning praise from Barcelona head coach Xavi for his “extraordinary” play.
While he was a member of Leeds’ roster, the winger earned 65 Premier League matches. Raphinha contributed 12 assists and 17 goals to those contests.
This season, Raphinha has contributed one assist in three UEFA Champions League games for Barcelona and three goals and five assists in 15 La Liga games for the team.

Ange Postecoglou could start ‘fast’ 18-year-old for Spurs v Burnley in FA Cup
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is probably going to take a shot against Burnley on Friday night in the FA Cup third-round.
Spurs appear to have a very bright future ahead of them after making significant progress since the end of the previous season.
But Tottenham has also suffered greatly as a result of players missing recent weeks’ worth of play because of injuries and suspensions.
Spurs’ roster will also be further reduced by the players who will be representing their country in the Asia Cup and Africa Cup of Nations.
Keeping all of that in mind, several changes are probably in store. And perhaps one of Tottenham’s summer acquisitions will make his much anticipated debut.
Ashley Phillips, a defender for England Under-21, signed a summer transfer from Blackburn Rovers to Spurs for an estimated £3 million.
The 18-year-old signed with Tottenham with the intention of becoming a player for the future, but his season debut was anticipated to come earlier.
Tottenham Hotspur talent Ashley Phillips “has got every attribute”
Unfortunately, an injury sustained while serving abroad prevented Postecoglou from giving Phillips his debut in November, despite reports that he was prepared to do so.
The teenager has been included for three consecutive Premier League matchday teams since he returned to action.
Furthermore, the FA Cup third round is as good a moment as any for him to start, especially with Spurs currently experiencing a defensive problem.
Phillips, who is only eighteen, already has senior experience from Blackburn, and he appears to be a star in the making.
As reported by the Evening Standard, former Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray said of Phillips while managing at Ewood Park: “He’s 6ft 4in, he’s fast, mobile, and can pass it really well.”
“He is calm and able to use both feet. Ash is simply an amazing young man. This youngster possesses every quality you could possibly want in a defender.
Let’s wait and see what happens on Friday night, but it appears that Phillips will most likely make his Spurs debut.
