Vasco da Gama striker Rayan has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks, and several Premier League clubs are keen on him.
According to a report from NT Vascainos, Tottenham and Aston Villa have inquired about the highly talented striker, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign him.
Chelsea are also linked with Rayan. The striker has 15 goals in 45 games for Vasco da Gama.
Newcastle keen on Rayan
Meanwhile, Yasir Al-Rumayyan is keen to sign the player for Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see where it ends up. The South American is highly rated and he could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for all three English clubs. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be very exciting for him.
The 19-year-old has shown his qualities in Brazil and he will look to test himself in the Premier League. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him and help him develop further. This could accelerate its development.
Rayan could still improve in England
Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa have quality managers who could make him a future star. The Brazilian will certainly hope to finish and join the Premier League in the coming months.
All three Premier League clubs also have the financial capacity to pay a reasonable fee for the striker. It remains to be seen whether Vasco da Gama is ready to sanction his departure.
The young striker will want to compete at the highest level, and the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle will be able to offer him Champions League football. It remains to be seen where he will ultimately end up. All three clubs could use more depth in the attacking unit, and the Brazilian would be a long-term investment.
