What’s the story? Everyone is the new Ronaldo apparently.Does it make sense? It’s a bit much to think you are buying a new Cristiano Ronaldo. He hasn’t scored a senior goal yet and has only made 4 assists in 26 games, so those aren’t numbers that jump off the page.Is the price right? Betis aren’t in great shape financially so they can be bought from. Somewhere above £3-4m would probably do it.Will it happen? 5/10 – Maybe, but Spurs only have so much money and signing Christian Benteke seems to be the priority.
