Tottenham’s official Twitter account has teased the imminent debut of new signing Carlos Vinicius, claiming that his first appearance for the Lilywhites is ‘coming soon’.Â
Vinicius, who signed on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy for £40m, could have supporters buzzing as his debut seemingly draws near.

Given the latest injury blow to star striker Harry Kane, it couldn’t have come at a better time either, with the England star currently affected by a muscular problem.
Tottenham’s social media team seem to have provided a significant boost regarding Vinicius, teasing supporters with a two-word message that his debut could be nearing.
Spurs take on West Ham next weekend when the Premier League returns, and supporters could see the 6 foot 3 (1.9m) ‘beast’ among the Lilywhites’ matchday selection.
Jose Mourinho’s men have started the season in fine form, battering Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford in their last league outing and crushing SouthamptonÂ5-2 at St Mary’s last month.

Vinicius’ presence in the team should only make Spurs even more deadly, especially considering he notched 24 goals in all competitions last season for parent club Benfica.
A powerful centre-forward, the 25-year-old also fits Mourinho’s mould of a physical and combative presence up front, and it will be interesting to see how he copes during his first taste of Premier League action.
This teaser from the club’s Twitter account hints that his debut is nigh, with the burning question being whether he’ll eventually justify his £40m permanent fee.
