Raul has been spotted at Tottenham Hotspur’s training today.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for this weekend’s game against West Bromwich Albion, and had a surprise face at today’s training session.
Spurs beat Watford 2-0 on Monday night to move another step closer to guaranteeing their top four place, and a win over West Brom would all but confirm Champions League football for next season.
Mauricio Pochettino was preparing his side for the game today, and he was joined by Spanish legend Raul, who was spotted in photos posted by the club’s official Twitter account earlier today.
The 40-year-old is attempting to become a coach and will have been learning from Pochettino, but his presence in North London has unsurprisingly caught the imagination of Spurs fans.
Raul was a hero for Real Madrid, smashing 323 goals in 741 games for the Spanish giants, whilst he also notched 44 goals in 102 caps for Spain as he became one of the finest strikers of his generation.
Spurs fans have subsequently taken to Twitter to suggest that Pochettino should sign Raul as cover for Harry Kane as he would be better than Fernando Llorente in the Tottenham attack.
Most suggestions will have been tongue-in-cheek as Raul has been retired for three years, but it just goes to show how little Spurs fans rate Llorente – and how much Spurs need to sign a striker this summer.
