# Tottenham: Sky Sports back Raphinha reports

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) and sporting director Fabio Paratici appear to be eyeing a move for Leeds United star Raphinha, and Sky Sports have now backed the rumours surrounding the Brazil international.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye busy summer…

The start of this summer transfer window has perhaps been Spurs’ busiest in recent memory with the Lilywhites [confirming](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma already.

It is believed that manager Antonio Conte has his eye on[yet more possible signings](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) at Tottenham with the right-wing-back position, central defensive area and further forward now potentially being upgraded.

[Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) star Raphinha star has also been heavily linked with a move to north London this week as[rumours suggest](https://twitter.com/Glongari/status/1539359423013040128) that the north Londoners are even ready to make an offer.

Speaking on live TV (via [Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1539583403728699394)), the broadcast giant and Reddy claim ‘Tottenham have looked at’ the 25-year-old and are in the mix alongside Arsenal and Chelsea.

### The Verdict: Push forward…

The Brazil starlet would undoubtedly be a fine capture for Spurs and Paratici as the club chief allegedly eyes a move.

As per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds), Leeds’ star finished 21/22 as their top goal scorer and best-performing regular by average match rating – all attempting the most shots at goal, completing the highest number of dribbles and making the most key passes per 90.

Called ‘[unbelievable](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-told-unbelievable-raphinha-open-to-anfield-move-pundit-says-hes-perfect-salah-successor/)‘ by pundit Paddy Kenny, his arrival at the Hotspur Way would be some statement, especially if it comes by beating Arsenal and Chelsea to the punch.
