The North London club is desperately looking to pick a striker for Harry Kane before Monday’s play window.
And the Spurs have agreed one with Benfica for their leader, and the 25-year-old arrives at Tottenham today.
Initially, this will be a one-season loan for Vinicius on White Hart Lane.
But it is understood that there will be a clause in the contract to make the move permanent for around a million pounds next summer.
Vinicius signed for Benfica Napoli for 15 million pounds a year ago, but inspired by his first season with the club.
The Brazilian has scored 24 goals in appearances in all competitions.
He is expected to have a clause of 89 million pounds in his contract with Benfica, which runs until 2024.
But the monetary effect on the coronavirus and the lack of football of the Benfica Champions League means that they are in a position to do business.
With 6 feet and 3 inches but with fast speed, play comfortably in the middle like number 9 or outdoors and can ease Kane’s load.
Chief Jose Mourinho has been associated with Joshua King of Bournemouth and Swiss star Haris Seferovic.
And just like through SunSport, Spurs are in talks with Napoli about a £ 25 million deal for Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik.
Former Ajax leader, who has been associated with Manchester United, has scored 48 goals in 122 appearances with Gli Azzurri.
Mourinho is sure he will get his before the deadline.
He said, “Yes, I want, I want a striker.
“But I mean very, very, obviously, that the club, the design above me, knows that I want a striker and also a striker.
“Are we going to have one? Honestly, that. For team balance, the team wants it because at the moment the team is very balanced, with other features for other positions. “
