Tottenham's summer transfer window has flipped on it's head in the past week.

Club captain Son Heung-min announced his departure from the club after 10 years, ad James Maddison was stretchered off after a collision against Newcastle.

It potentially leaves new boss Thomas Frank without two key attacking options just two weeks before the start of the Premier League season, and may force the club to dip into the transfer market.

Replacing Son will be no easy feat, but if reports are to believed, Tottenham are willing to go big in order to do so.

Real Madrid outcast Rodrygo is their number one option to replace their talismanic winger, but securing his services will not be easy.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Europa League winners have submitted a €100 million offer for the Brazilian winger, and whilst it may come close to Real Madrid's valuation, there is no guarantee Rodrygo wants to join Tottenham.

The report states that Rodrygo actually views Tottenham as a step back in his career and wants to wait for an offer from a club with "greater potential."

Competition in Real Madrid's attack is rife, and new manager Xabi Alonso seemingly sees no place for Rodrygo in his system, leading to people in Brazil suggesting it would be better for him to leave ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Rodrygo, who scored 14 goals and registered 11 assists last season, is valued at €90 million by Transfermarket.

In FourFourTwo's view, Rodrygo is good enough to force his way into Alonso's thinking, and the absence of Jude Bellingham, following shoulder surgery for the opening months of the season may be enough for him to prove his worth in the creative midfield role.

It appears neither Liverpool nor Arsenal will make a serious play for the Brazilian, who is ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best right wingers in the world right now, so if Spurs could present a serious package, there's a chance they could turn his head to a move to north London.
