Three Premier League clubs chase Feyenoord's Champions League star Igor Paixao.
Tottenham, Newcastle and Bournemouth are all enthusiastic about the Brazilian winger, who scored the winner against AC Milan and Kyle Walker on Wednesday gave a scorching time in De Kuip.
Paixao defeated Walker after just three minutes before he shot on the nearby pole and then the English international kept tormenting all night.
Newcastle and Bournemouth had both scouts in Rotterdam for the play-off first stage of Champions League.
Paixao, 24, has eight goals and 14 assists in Eredivisie and the Champions League this season, where the player has a Premier League movement in the summer.
Van Feyenoord is thought that they judge their fast wing player, signed with the Brazilian Zijcoritiba in 2022, for £ 25 million and there was sufficient evidence about why on Wednesday evening.
Paixao not only beat Walker constantly, but he was also quickly and confident for the goal, and hit the bar after opening the score.
No player completed more dribbles than the Feyenoord man at De Kuip, while no teammate had shots anymore.
Paixao also won the ball four times and created two opportunities.
In the second half, he robbed Walker van Owners in the Milan half that led him to come close to the half line.

Paixao also registered an assist in Feyenoord's 3-3 Comeback-Draw with Manchester City earlier this season.
But his goal last night sealed the first defeat of Walker since he came to Milan in January.
The right back insisted that the loss did not affect what he sees as a slight start for life in Italy, but knows that they will need a response at San Siro next week.
He said: “I've been here for two weeks. Since I have been here, it is good, this is a setback and we must first recover in the championship and then in the return bone.
“The atmosphere, the crowd with their passion and the conviction that we will do: it will be a different match, but the approach must also be different.
“It is not only valid for the attackers, we all have to contribute more.”
