Dos Santos shuns Chelsea and Man City for White Hart Lane

Barcelona attacking midfielder Geovani Dos Santos is set to become Juande Ramos' second big money signing of the summer. The two club's have agreed a fee within the region of £9m for the 19-year-old play-maker who signature has been coveted by some of the continents biggest clubs.

Dos Santos will be second attack-minded midfielder to join the club in recent weeks and will join Luka Modric in a new-look Tottenham midfield. Ramos has identified his side's desperate need for creativity and moved quickly to secure two of the brightest young talents in the game.

The deal to bring Dos Santos to White Hart Lane is perhaps the more surprising of the two given that few were mentioning his name as a potential addition to the squad when the league drew to a close. Manchester City will be particularly disappointed - it was believed that they were favourites to secure the youngsters services but those plans were, perhaps, undermined by the continuing confusion surrounding Sven's future.

Geovani, who has drawn favourable comparison with fellow Barca star Ronaldinho, arrives with a big reputation. Having scored a hat-trick against Real Murcia in recent weeks he surely has an eye for a goal that Ramos' midfield has lacked at times. One worry will be that if Modric, Dos Santos, Steed Malbranque and Aaron Lennon ever line up in the same midfield, we'll have the smallest midfield the world has ever seen.

With the expected capture of Dos Santos, and of Palace midfielder John Bostock, Ramos has shown himself to be a firm believer in nurturing young talent with tremendous potential. Fans should already be looking forward to next season with baited breath.

I don't believe you.
1st, there's nothing about this on spurs.co.uk
2nd, u got no link to prove you're not making this shit up
3rd, I don't believe Giovani will leave Barca, where he's the future, for Spurs, where he's not able to play CL next season
4th, £9 mill is too cheap for a talent like him.

TOTTENHAM have agreed a £12million deal for Barcelona’s wonderkid Giovani Dos Santos.
Spurs beat Chelsea, Manchester City and Inter Milan to the Mexican winger and are also on the brink of signing defender Richard Dunne from City for £5m.
Giovani, 19, was swayed after meeting White Hart Lane chiefs in London back in January.
Inter and City were last night desperately trying to persuade agent Pini Zahavi to get the player to change his mind.
Spurs’ swoop has stunned Chelsea, who made two failed raids for Giovani after tracking his development for four years.
Barca offered Gio the chance to move on loan but he has grown disillusioned with the Nou Camp.
Meanwhile, Dunne has held advanced talks with Spurs and will complete a switch after his medical.
Aston Villa and Portsmouth were also interested in the City skipper, 28.

1)giovani is not already signed to the spurs,that's why there's nothing about it on the official site
2)
3)giovani,unfortunately,is not the future of barca,bojan and messi are the future.And he just want to play football,he don't give a fuck about the champions league now.
4)maybe the price is not correct,but the news is LEGIT
