Tottenham Hotspur are apparently the favourites to sign the latest Brazilian superstar Leandro Damiao. As of today word has hit the press that the president of Leandro's current club Internacional has come out and said that Leoandro will leave for Europe next season and Spurs are the favourites to land his signature. For the past three Premier League seasons Spurs have been pushing to be a permanent top four side but have falling short due to big players in key areas. One of these areas has of course been up front,. Jermaine Defoe is a good player but no longer world class, Adebayor has massive potential but he is careless and is only worried about his paycheque.
If Spurs win the race for Leoandro then he could be the final piece of the puzzle that Spurs really need to qualify for Champions League. He's known in Brazil for his electrifying pace and finishing and the other key factor is he is very strong minded which will become handy for him to adjust to life in England and the Premier League. English fans might recognise him from the London olympics where he was the star of the Brazilian side in which he took out the golden boot award scoring 6 goals in 5 games.
Its unfair to label Leoandro as Spurs potential savour but with the current strikers failing to deliver it will be a natural thing for fans to do. Weather they win the race for him or not, Andre Villas Boas will need to purchase more strikers because they can no longer challenge for Champions League with two strikers in the squad.
