Tottenham edge closer to Sandro as president admits 6.5m deal is agreed

Earn your Spurs: Brazilian midfielder Sandro Tottenham hope to finally conclude a £6.5million deal for Brazilian midfielder Sandro this week. Spurs have held talks with Internacionale over the 21-year-old and their president, Vittorio Piffero, said: 'The deal is agreed and we will sign this week. I don't expect that to change because the agreement has been made between all parties.'

A tall, holding midfield man, he has built a reputation as a fierce tackler but also has an eye for a pass. Captain of Brazil's Under 20 team in last year's FIFA tournament, he made his debut for the full side in September as a late substitute in a 4-2 World Cup qualifying win over Chile and has been tipped to force his way into the squad forSouth Africa.
