The agent of Internacional striker Leandro Damião has indicated that a further offer will arrive from Tottenham in the coming days, after arriving in England.

Damião, 22, has consistently been at the top of scoring charts in Brazil since making his breakthrough at the end of 2010 and is currently leading the line for the Olympic side in Great Britain.

The subject of more than one previous rejected bid from Tottenham, it is believed an agreement could now be found for Leandro Damião following difficulties in agreeing terms with Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

Vinicius Prates told Terra: “I am here in England and there may well be a new offer from Tottenham for Damião, but there is still nothing official – only speculation.”

Internacional vice president Luciano Davi also confirmed that no bid had been received, but indicated that the club would consider a sale if the player wished to depart.

Davi said: “There has been no official offer for Damião. We don’t intend to sell him because we have problems in attack, but we can’t rule out a sale. It will depend on the will of the player. Damião has already proved himself to be worth much more than €20 million.
