The departure of Son Heung Min – captain and icon – will leave a huge void in Tottenham's attack.

Immediately, Tottenham's sports department and Chairman Daniel Levy chose Rodrygo Goes as an alternative.

AS said Tottenham are closely monitoring the Brazilian striker and have even asked Real Madrid for permission to approach him directly.

Rodrygo has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2028 and has never publicly expressed any intention of leaving the Bernabeu.

However, his playing minutes at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup under coach Xabi Alonso were quite few.

The emergence of young talent Franco Mastantuono – who will officially join on August 14, when he turns 18 – the increasingly mature Arda Guler, or the breakthrough of Gonzalo Garcia are not beneficial to Rodrygo's position.

Money is not an issue for Tottenham in principle. Spurs save the highest salary in the team after Son Heung Min leaves - 11.4 million euros per season (equivalent to 190,000 pounds/week).

That’s enough money to invest in a new star. In London, everyone is talking about Rodrygo – who is also being lured to Fenerbahce by Jose Mourinho.

In addition, if Son is replaced, Rodrygo can play in his best position - the left wing of the attack, where he feels most comfortable.

At Real Madrid, Rodrygo always had to give way to Vinicius on the left wing.

The arrival of an American investor has given Tottenham a financial boost under Chairman Levy.

Tottenham's participation in the Champions League is also a great advantage. Moreover, the football project with Thomas Frank is promising in the race for the top group of the Premier League.

Currently, Tottenham is focusing on medical examination and official contract signing with Joao Palhinha. After that, the plan to activate "blockbuster" Rodrygo will be implemented.
