What Raphinha did vs Tottenham to impress Antonio Conte as Fabio Paratici faces transfer call

Raphinha is on the lips of all Tottenham fans at present as Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte look to add to the Spurs squad ahead of the 2022/23 season. The vast majority of Premier League clubs have been rather quiet in the transfer market so far, although the same cannot be said about Tottenham.

Signing Ivan Perisic on a free transfer and Fraser Forster also coming in on a similar deal from Southampton once his contract at St Mary's expires, the addition of Yves Bissouma from Brighton & Hove Albion was a move that highlighted that Spurs really do mean business next term. There's plenty more needing to be done at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the summer transfer deadline, with a new right wing-back, left-sided centre-back and attacker all required.

Spurs already boast a very impressive forward line in Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski but the club require more quality in attack due to the high volume of games coming up because of their Champions League return. Steven Bergwijn is expected to clinch a transfer to Ajax after playing a bit-part role under Conte and the talented Dutchman will need replacing.

Struggling in the past to bring in another out-and-out striker as cover for Kane, Paratici and Conte must decide on whether they do solely go for a striker, a versatile forward who can play across the frontline or both due to Bergwijn's pending exit. Linked with a move for Richarlison with Everton needing to bring in money this summer, Spurs are also among the many clubs to have shown an interest in Leeds United's Raphinha.

Tottenham certainly won't have it all their own way if they do elect to pursue a move
