Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho is finally getting an addition to the striking department, and the 25-year-old is expected to come good.
Vinicius ended last term with 18 goals in 32 matches, emerging as the joint top goalscorer in the Portugal’s Premiera Liga.
The Brazilian will wear the jersey number 45 and hope to impress in order to seal a permanent move to Tottenham next summer.
Former Spurs star Jan Vertonghen joined Benfica in the summer and knows one or two things about Vinicius, and he took to Twitter to react thus after the North Londoners announced the striker’s arrival.
