Tottenham Eye Move for Santos Star Neilton


Tottenham boss Andre Villas Boas is considering on making a move for Brazilian teenager Neilton who has been dubbed the next 'Neymar'.


The 19 year-old has come to a standstill with Santos over a new contract as they only want to pay him £7,000 pounds per week with himself and his agent wanting £20,000 per week instead.

His contract will run out in the coming Summer meaning that he will be available on a pre-contract agreement come January and this has alerted Tottenham.

Another club interested in the youngster is Sevilla but they have only offered £600,000 for the striker which would not be enough.

Neilton has suggested that he intends to stay at Santos but has opened the door to a move should he fail to reach a new contract with the Brazil side.

Neilton has made 13 appearances this season for Santos this season in the league with four goals and an assist to his name.
