Jose Mourinho has finally been able to bring a new striker into Tottenham (Clive Rose/PA)Tottenham have agreed a season-long loan for Benfica striker Carlos Vinicius. The deal was announced by the Portuguese club late on Thursday night, with the Brazilian to move to London for the 2020/21 campaign pending a medical test and the agreement of personal terms. Spurs will pay a three million euro (£2.69m) loan fee and have the option of buying the 25-year-old for 45million euros (£40.38m) at the end of the season. Vinicius scored 18 goals in 32 games for Benfica last season and with strong physicality appears suited to Mourinho’s style of play. “Nobody told me it’s done so I’m going to respect the situation, respect the player, respect Benfica and wait a little bit more.
