Spurs Transfers: 4 Shock Moves AVB Could Make Before Window Shuts

1. Leandro Damiao

Damio Brazilian side Internacional have admitted that striker Leandro Damiao could leave the club before the end of the transfer window but clearly negotiations would have to be swift at this stage with so little time remaining for formalities to be completed. The 23-year old is thought to be at the very top of Villas-Boas' shopping list,* and is rated at about £20 million. The youngster was most impressive for Brazil at the London 2012 Olympics, and was his country's top goalscorer in the competition. News broke just this afternoon** that Tottenham are set to seal the £18 million purchase of the Brazilian, but will now face a race against time to get the deal done. Internacional sporting director Luis Cesar Souto de Moura has told Brazilian media that Leandro Damiao will only leave if there is a very quick negotiation. Source(s): * Sky Sports, ** Daily Mail
