He was the leading goal scorer (5) of UEFA U-19 championship where Portugal went on to lift the title. The forward was awarded the best young player of the month for August 2018.
Why should Spurs sign?

The teenager has a contract that bounds him with his current club till 2022.
Spurs became the first team to not make any signings since 2015 and the Argentine manager looks to break the drought this time.
