Internacional have claimed that a deal has been agreed to take Sandro to Tottenham this summer.

The Brazilian club's president Vitorio Piffero revealed last week that an agreement was close after lengthy negotiations between the two parties.

And now, according to a statement on Internacional's official website, everything is in place for the midfielder to join Spurs.

Tottenham have yet to confirm the move but Inter say Sandro was due in London this week to undergo a medical before returning to Brazil at the weekend.

The player will remain at Inter until the end of the Copa Libertadores, which finishes in August.

Spurs have been chasing Sandro, who has been capped once by Brazil, since last summer and also came close to signing him in the January transfer window.
