Flaco López did well in Brazil
He has 62 goals and 18 assists in 190 appearances for the Brazilian club, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He is also on the radar of clubs such as Fulham and West Ham United.
Lopez is a talented player with an exciting future and could be a useful signing for Tottenham. The North London club needs to further improve the quality of their attacking line-up. They need someone who can compete with Dominic Solanke for a starting spot. The battle for position could lead to the growth of both players. Solanke has not been able to find the back of the net consistently and Tottenham need more quality in that area of the pitch.

Lopez could be a useful option
The 25-year-old South American could share the goal-scoring responsibilities with Tottenham’s striker. The opportunity to move to the Premier League would be an exciting one for him. It will be a big step in his career and he will test himself at the highest level. Playing regular football in England will help him develop further and reach his potential.
The asking price seems quite high and it will be interesting to see whether Tottenham are willing to break the bank for him. They need to improve multiple areas of their team and are looking to sign players for lower fees.
