# Tottenham: Paratici readying offer to sign ‘massive’ player

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) and by extension their sporting director Fabio Paratici are readying an offer to sign one ‘massive’ player for manager Antonio Conte, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs summer in full swing…

Spurs are[reportedly](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) eyeing a right-wing-back, central defender and new forward after completing a plethora of deals already this summer.

Paratici has been working behind-the-scenes as the Lilywhites are tasked with appeasing Conte and realising the Italian’s ambition ahead of his first full [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) season in charge.

Already, the Lilywhites have [confirmed](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) a trio of signings in Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma and more could be set to come in.

### The Latest: Paratici readying bid for ‘massive’ player…

According to reporter and Sport Italia TV journalist Gianluigi Longari, it appears Paratici is now readying a bid for another potential incoming at Hotspur Way.

Indeed, as per his information, Tottenham are willing to submit an offer for Leeds United star Raphinha.

He explained (via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Glongari/status/1539359423013040128)):

*“Also #Tottenham want #LUFC winger and ready to submit an offer (50M+10M ).*

### The Verdict: Get it done…

The 25-year-old stands out as a real star target for Spurs, and while they may struggle to get a deal done given all the competition, we believe Paratici’s efforts will be justified.

As per[WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) Raphinha finished 21/22 as Leeds’ best performing-player by average match rating and scored their most goals – all while racking up the highest rate of shots at goal, key passes made and completed dribbles per 90.

Taking all of this into account, it’s hardly a surprise his manager Jesse Marsch branded the Brazil international a [‘massive’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3f9pQxuHA)player, while ex-Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has also called him ‘[phenomenal’.](https://motleedsnews.com/news/tim-sherwood-i-cant-take-my-eyes-raphinha/)

Indeed, he may well be worth the investment.
