Tottenham Hotspur have shared a video of Spurs newcomer Carlos Vinicius in training, prompting a number of Lilywhites fans to give their thoughts on the striker’s efforts.

The 25-year-old joined Tottenham on loan from Benfica on Friday night, ending the North Londoners’ search for a striker to ease the burden on Harry Kane.

As per the Portuguese club’s website, Vinicius has joined on loan for a fee of £2.7m, though Tottenham have the option of making the deal permanent next summer for around £40m.

The Brazilian netted 24 times in 2019-20 and was the joint-top scorer in the Primeira Liga with 18 goals.

On Thursday morning, Tottenham’s Twitter account posted a video of Vinicius being put through his paces in a shooting drill against fellow Spurs summer arrival Joe Hart.

Coach Ledley King assisted the forward and even got involved in marking him on occasion.

And plenty of Spurs fans liked what they saw – both from Vinicius and from King:
