Leandro move nearing closer?

Speculation is growing that striker Leandro Damio could be set for a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 21-year-old is currently playing for Internacional in his native Brazil and the club admit that his departure is “inevitable”.

Coach Paulo Roberto Falcao is quoted as saying by Sky Sports: “His departure is inevitable. But we hope to keep him for as much time as possible.”

Leandro is a former team-mate of Sandro who has given a glowing reference: “The directors always talk to me about Brazilian players. They asked me about Leandro Damiao and I told them he’s a fantastic guy of high quality.”

“Hopefully we will knock on the door of Inter very soon,” he added.
