Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Benfica forward Rodrigo as they consider bidding for the Spanish youngster this summer, according to a report.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly tracking the progress of Benfica youngster Rodrigo with a view to a summer bid.

Rodrigo is a Spanish youth international and has earned a regular starting spot at Benfica, scoring eight times in 30 appearances this season.

Villas-Boas is keen on bolstering his attacking options and is currently mulling over a £10m bid for the 22-year-old, according to The Mirror.

The former Real Madrid trainee can operate as a central striker or wide attacker and is thought to be viewed as an talented impact player by scouts at White Hart Lane.

Adapting to life in England would not prove a problem for the Brazil-born forward following a loan spell with Bolton Wanderers during his teenage years.

Spurs fans will get a chance to watch the potential signing this week when he represents Spain at the European Under-21 Championships in Israel.
