Good luck to the lad.

Because we could really do with having a new signing hit the ground running for a change.

Good luck to him. Sounds like the talent is there and hopefully with his family in London he'll settle quickly. Could be a real bargain signing with next to no up front cost.

He best be good

I havent really tracked the transfer but does it seem a Jose signing or is this like a Levy opportunistic signing?

Also why the hell are Benfica loaning him out (disregarding the option to buy) if he is any good? I know nothing about him so im just wondering

Would be interesting to kno if there is an obligation to buy after a certain amount of appearances and how high the buying clause actually is.

Anyway, good luck to the lad, he will need it.

Do you think it's likely that Levy would do an opportunistic signing from Portugal right after Mourinho has joined?

Last season he was a regular, then they changed system.

Benfica have been caught out in recent years by either selling talents off cheap or loaning them with a low buyout. Jovic recently being the best example (Frankfurt took up the 7m option and sold him for 60m!). Apparently he does not get on with the manager at Benfica so why not loan him for 18 months with a high buyout clause? The fact they've put a 50m Euro tag on him suggests they think he could be worth that and he's not just a random journeyman.

It'll be nice for every single reply on Spurs social media to not be "Announce Gedson" - Spurs fans really are fucking annoying on Twitter.

They are constantly getting new prospects taking the places of the players they sell anyway. No big deal for them.
