Tottenham Hotspur are close to securing a deal for Brazil midfielder Sandro in the region of £6.5million, according to The Daily Mail.
The deal is reported to be concluded after the final round of matches in the Brazilian Serie A this weekend, where the 20-year-old could leave a champion if his team were to win.
Manager Harry Redknapp has been keeping tabs on the Brazilian since the summer and has outlined his desire to reinforce his midfield after the recent departures of Jamie O'Hara, Kevin-Prince Boateng, and Didier Zokora.
Redknapp said: "We've only got three central midfield players. Jamie O'Hara went, Kevin-Prince Boateng went, Didier Zokora went. Suddenly we're very, very short in there.
"So I'm looking for someone else who can play in midfield here. We've been looking at Sandro. He's just breaking into the Brazilian team from the Under-21s. He can play. He's a modern-day midfield player.
"I'd like to go and have a look myself as well and, if we do decide to do anything, it'll be up to the chairman to push it on from there."
