The Internacional player, valued at £16 million, has played for Dunga's Brazilian national side, and Redknapp said: "We've been looking at Sandro. He's just breaking into the Brazilian team from the under-21s. He can play - he's a modern day midfield player."[LNB]"Ian Broomfield, my chief scout, was in Brazil and watched a lot of games. There were a couple of players there that he came back and recommended strongly.

[LNB]"He's similar to Gilberto (Silva, the former Arsenal midfielder). He's more of a holding midfield player, but a very good footballer."[LNB]Tottenham sold Jamie O'Hara and Didier Zokora in the summer, and are currently struggling with injuries ahead of the derby clash with Arsenal this weekend.
