Tottenham midfielder Sandro will not be moving away from White Hart Lane in the summer, according to the player’s agent.

The Brazilian midfielder has enjoyed a strong second half of the season after initially struggling in the Premier League following his £8 million from Internacional.

Luiz Paulo Chignall, the player’s agent, told tuttomercatoweb: “Would Sandro like to play in Serie A? Yes, but for now he’s good for Tottenham.

“Reading the newspapers I see that many clubs are interested in Sandro, like Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma and Real Madrid.

“But I have not received any proposal and no one has talked to me.

“I am a bit worried, because no intermediary is entitled to speak on behalf of Sandro. My concern is that someone has spoken on behalf of Sandro, not being authorised to do so.”

The midfielder has impressed his teammates with his recent performances in the league as well as in Europe, becoming a fans favourite in the process. Captain Michael Dawson believes he’s now a vital part of the team.

“Sandro’s performances in the Champions League were great and he certainly makes our job a lot easier,” Dawson told the club’s official website.

“He sits just in front, wins balls, breaks play up, tracks players and we all know now he can score goals after that strike at Chelsea. He’s a top, top player.

“He’s also a great lad to have in and around the club. He’s still learning English but he’s a full part of the banter and everyone loves him in the changing room.”

Sandro’s performances have also earned him the praise of boss Harry Redknapp who’s pleased with the way he has adapted to the Premier League.

“Sandro is emerging as a top player,” Redknapp said after Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester City.

“He’s come into the English game and his performance against City’s strong midfield was excellent.”
