Pato Remains a Risk for Top Clubs

Despite his experience, Pato is a risk for top European sides and it is questionable whether the Brazilian will be up to speed with the hectic football of the Premier League or La Liga.

The attacker last represented his country in 2013, falling off the radar of most football fans, but Tottenham might give him a final chance to resurrect his career in one of the toughest leagues of all. 

With only Harry Kane as a recognised striker, Spurs need reinforcement, so Pato would likely receive plenty of game time, something he's less likely to get competing with Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke at Liverpool, or Neymar, Luis Suarez and Co. at Barcelona.
