Have we got a resident Portuguese expert? Don't know anything about him,
very powerful, deals very well with the physicality, good in tight spaces, good finishing ability. won't kill defences with pace, won't play make all that well but will get free in the box and bang them in.

There was a lot of Carlos Vinicius chat when he was revealed to be JJ's "under the radar" striker - confirmed by Trix's sources too. But then it went quiet and everyone seemed to forget about him.

So I just want to flag up that I was always a believer. I mean, you don't ignore a JJ / Trix double whammy, do you? Hence why I posted the following in the Joshua King thread on Monday in response to a post joking about Deeney still being the one:

Vinicius has apparently been our top target all along. Mourinho wants him. Mendes is his agent. Benfica want to sell. If we hear that that deal is not happening, that'll be the time to panic about Deeney being the one.

Do I get a prize?

Thank you, Joao. I was going to @ you but didn't want to be presumptuous haha.

Only judging on YouTube clips, most his goals appear to be tap in’s or 6 yard poaching goals. He might have to change his game in a formation where he leads the line on his own. Not sure we play where he’ll get a lot of tap in’s. Exciting tho!

I guess it depends on what you consider playmaker. Looks like he holds the ball up well and finds others as evidenced by 13 assists last year. Seems an awesome option to play with any of Bale, Bergwijn, Son and Kane up front.

You mean to tell me we are signing a backup striker? AND it is Mourinho's first choice? Wow. Certainly can't get mad at Daniel for not investing this window. Get this done and move onto Skriniar & outgoings.

I can't find where this is sourced from but a few Portugese comments under some of the above tweets say we're looking at Pizzi too?
