Tottenham face a setback in pursuit of attacker as Manchester City come in
Tottenham sit in an uneasy place this season, as results have swung wildly and confidence has been dropping, while the team’s 11th-place spot with 22 points from 16 games shows a side still looking for rhythm.
Since Thomas Frank arrived, pressure has risen quickly, because a 3–0 loss at Nottingham Forest laid bare loose defending and blunt attacking links. Still, brighter moments have shown up, and Spurs lean on a convincing 3–0 Champions League win to increase their belief, which keeps hopes alive despite domestic pressure.
However, league trends are a cause of worry for the supporters, since Tottenham set a grim record by failing to win five matches after leading 1–0. Now, it looks like they have another headache to deal with. Manchester City are now ready to make an audacious offer to lure Rodrygo, a Tottenham target.

Meanwhile, there are events happening in the transfer front. Tottenham have a growing interest in Rodrygo, and that link keeps gathering pace as the Brazilian goes through an awkward spell at Real Madrid, where his form has dipped, and his confidence has suffered.

Should Spurs press hard for Rodrygo?
At 24, Rodrygo carries a pedigree and pressure, but this season, he has struggled to take control of games, which brings back conversations Madrid once set aside. According to Fichajes, Manchester City have stepped up their pursuit of the Brazilian as Pep Guardiola sees the player as an ideal fit for his Man City lineup.
The report adds that City are prepared to offer close to close to €80 million to swoop the attacker away from Madrid. Man City believe a stable environment and a defined role under Guardiola can help Rodrygo play his best football.
