Tottenham Hotspur target Rodrygo is considering his future at Real Madrid after barely featuring under Xabi Alonso this season
Tottenham’s draw against Manchester United means the Lilywhites have now dropped points in five of their six matches at home in the Premier League. The Lilywhites failed to muster up chances for most parts of the game, and the attacking front that Thomas Frank opted to start was not at it from the very first minute. The Danish tactician’s decision to play Richarlison on the left-flank did not seem to pay off in the end.
The Brazilian was unable to offer much threat down the wing and found it difficult to beat his marker in one-on-one situations. It was only when Wilson Odobert was introduced at half-time that Spurs began to find joy on the left side. The Frenchman caused constant problems in wide areas, and both Tottenham goals ultimately came from that flank.
Tottenham Hotspur target Rodrygo is considering his future at Real Madrid after barely featuring under Xabi Alonso this season.
Tottenham remain keen on landing Real Madrid ace Rodrygo.
However, this situation also highlighted the ongoing issues within the squad that Thomas Frank and the club must address in the upcoming transfer window. Spurs lack sufficient quality and depth in the wide positions when it comes to consistently troubling organised defences. Apart from Wilson Odobert, there is no clear natural option who can consistently operate at a high level on the left wing.
Tottenham are favourites to land Real Madrid star Rodrygo in the winter
Tottenham need to splash the cash in the winter if they are to close the gap on their rivals in the second half of the season. The Lilywhites, against all odds, are fighting for European qualification this season. So, the club’s hierarchy must make sure that Thomas Frank is backed accordingly so that they remain in the top-end of the Premier League table right till the end.
Recent reports suggest that Spurs have identified Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as a long-term solution to their issues on the left. The Brazilian has dropped down the pecking order under Xabi Alonso and is believed to be open to a move to the Premier League in order to boost his World Cup prospects. It has also been reported that Liverpool and Arsenal are monitoring the situation of the 24-year-old at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, much to the delight of the Tottenham fans, the Lilywhites have now received a massive boost in their efforts to land the prolific winger. As per Fichajes, Spurs are now frontrunners for Rodrygo’s signature. The North Londoners view him as an attractive option and could look to move fast for his signature if the Los Blancos open doors for his potential exit.
Bringing in a player of Rodrygo’s quality should be a straightforward decision for Spurs. The Brazilian has consistently shown the ability to perform at the highest level and has the potential to become one of the best wingers in world football. Playing regularly in the Premier League under Thomas Frank could help him reach that ceiling. He would also have the opportunity to take on a leading role within the project at Tottenham, something that would have been difficult at Real Madrid.
His direct playing style, goal-scoring ability, and excellent dribbling make him a strong candidate to take over on the left side of the attack. He would offer a different dimension in the final third and provide consistent service to the strikers. All attention will now turn to Real Madrid as they consider Rodrygo’s future in the weeks ahead.
