RUMOURS: Spurs in negotiations to sign Barcelona starlet
For the second time this season, Spanish daily Sport claims Barcelona are willing to sell Sandro to Tottenham.
January is just around the corner and although the winter transfer window is typically subdued, the media is set to enjoy a month-long feeding frenzy of gossip and rumours. Unsurprisingly, the European press is no worse than the UK's.
Below is the front page of Wednesday's edition of Spanish daily Sport, which brings news that Tottenham have held talks with Barcelona forward Sandro, 20.
Apparently Barca are willing to allow Sandro to leave in January, which is hardly surprising since he's a forward and, well, they have a few rather good ones ahead of the Spaniard.
Sandro, however, has made a respectable 13 appearances in all competitions for Barca so far this season (without scoring) which, alone, is enough to suggest he is a talented player.
As a young, versatile Spanish-speaker, who wouldn't mind playing back-up to Harry Kane, provided he got plenty of minutes, Sandro fits the bill for Tottenham.
Incidentally, this story is very familiar. In a front page splash in October, Sport said Barca aren't prepared to accept a cent less than €10m (£7.5m) from Spurs for Sandro.
Sport is based in Catalonia and has close links to Barca, so there could well be some truth in this fresh Sandro rumour, particularly as the newspaper has now repeated it.
Keep watching this space.
