Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes his old club have signed a 'top-class' striker in Carlos Vinicius.
Vinicius joined Spurs on a season-long loan from Benfica with just days of the deadline day remaining.
Jose Mourinho was desperate to sign a striker and the Brazilian fits the bill having netted 18 times in 33 league appearances for Benfica.
Former Spurs keeper Robinson has given his seal of approval, too, dubbing the 25-year-old frontman an 'outstanding signing'.
“I think he’s a great signing, I really do," Robinson told Football Insider.
“They’ve exploited Benfica’s exit from the Champions League and exploited Benfica’s need for cash because of that.
“They’ve bought a top-class player, over 20 goals last season and he’s still only young."
Harry Kane is, of course, Tottenham's first-choice striker but given the amount of football ahead of them, Vinicius will get plenty of opportunities to impress, according to Robinson.
“With Spurs competing on so many fronts this season, you can’t really sell it as back-up to Harry Kane anymore," he added.
“I was there at the Stadium for the Maccabi Haifa game, they had Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and then Manchester United at Old Trafford at the weekend.
“He’s going to get a chance, he’s going to play at least 15 games this season. I think it’s an outstanding signing.
“I think they’ve had a really good window Spurs there’s real optimism and good press around Spurs for the first time in a while.
“I’m really optimistic as to what they can achieve this season.”
