Tottenham to make £10m Rafa Silva bid

Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of tabling an offer for Sporting Braga's Rafa Silva.

Reports suggest that Mauricio Pochettino is ready to pull the trigger after monitoring the 23-year-old attacking midfielder for the past year or so.

It is understood that Spurs will bid £10million for Silva who is most frequently deployed as a left winger but can play through the middle and also on the right.

Silva, who was part of the Portugal squad that won Euro2016, is set to be the subject of talks between Spurs and Braga with the North London club keen to wrap up a deal before the new Premier League season starts in just over a week's time.
