Spurs Dream XI For The Premier League Opener

6. Sandro (Defensive Midfielder)

Sandro is hotly tipped to leave Spurs this summer, with Rafa Benitez's Napoli linked with a player-plus-cash bid for the Brazilian, but this would massively disappoint Spurs fans. The combative midfielder is a huge character at White Hart Lane and a clear fan-favourite. More importantly, he has undoubted ability and class and, under the right manager, he could be an absolutely massive player for the club. Everyone knows what Sandro AKA "the Beast" can do - he breaks up play, he lays the ball off, he occasionally scores a belting goal and he does it all with a smile on his face. Spurs paid £6 million for Sandro from their affiliate club Internacional - an absolute bargain - and he has been a good servant since 2010. He is another player who missed out on the World Cup and he'll be hungry to play. Should he remain with the club, Spurs fans would love to see him walk out against West Ham. That said, he is missing from the club's current tour of America and Canada, as he has a virus.
