Internacionale president Vittorio Piffero claims Tottenham's deal for Brazilian youngster Sandro is imminent.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has previously revealed his interest in the 21-year-old Sandro, with chairman Daniel Levy negotiating with Internacionale since before the last transfer window.

Piffero said: "The negotiations with Tottenham have been going on since last summer, but now we are in the key moment.

"The deal is agreed and we will sign this week. I don't expect that to change because the agreement has been made between all parties."
