The Rafael Leão Gamble.

Rafael Leão has emerged as one of the most exciting names linked with Spurs this summer, but is he really the right fit for Thomas Frank's successor, Roberto De Zerbi? In this video I break down exactly what makes Leão such a unique player, from his incredible blend of pace, power and technical quality to his elite ball striking, creativity and goal output. I explain why he's one of the most difficult wingers in world football to defend, how he'd fit into De Zerbi's attacking structure, and why his profile could be devastating in the spaces Spurs are looking to create. I also discuss the biggest concern surrounding any move for Leão: his mentality and defensive work. Is it simply a product of his situation at AC Milan, or is it something Spurs should genuinely worry about? Finally, I give my verdict on whether Tottenham should take the gamble, why I think a loan with an option to buy could be the ideal deal, and whether De Zerbi is the coach capable of getting the very best out of him. Let me know what you think below. Would you sign Rafael Leão if you were Spurs?
