Tottenham target Brazilian midfielder Sandro

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.""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.

"He's similar to Gilberto (Silva, the former Arsenal midfielder). He's more of a holding midfield player, but a very good footballer."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. Aaron Lennon is doubtful, while Redknapp is also without Luka Modric, a long-term absentee, and Jermain Defoe is suspended. Jonathan Woodgate is also missing, after suffering a head injury early in the Stoke game, and the England central defender is also set for a scan to determine if he has suffered a fractured cheekbone.
