According to a number of reliable sources, a formal bid has been lodged by Tottenham for Rayan Vitor Simplício Rocha, the forward currently plying his trade at Vasco Gama. He has been the subject of heated transfer speculation over recent weeks, and this latest bid could signal a turning point in the transfer saga. Tottenham are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. At 1.86 goals scored per game this season, Tottenham already pose a big threat. Rayan Vitor Simplício Rocha would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Tottenham have recently been linked with Dusan Vlahovic, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Antoine Semenyo while Vasco Gama have had no rumoured targets.
