Spurs target: Dos Santos scored a hat-trick in his last Barca game
Tottenham are in pole position to sign Barcelona's Giovani dos Santos after discussing a £7million deal.
The 19-year-old midfielder, son of former Brazil international Zizinho, has been interesting Manchester City and Chelsea but his preference is to join Tottenham manager Juande Ramos.
Giovani has endured a rough ride in Spain where he has failed to win over the crowd fully despite some outstanding performances. He scored a hat-trick against Real Murcia during the last game of the season earlier this month - and he has staunch supporters within the game.
One is former Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard, currently linked with the vacant Chelsea job, who told the teenager he would take him to his next club.
Ramos sees the slightly-built Mexico international as a player who can develop and provide the ammunition for his strike force as he continues to rebuild for next season.

This lad is potentially the next Ronaldinho, he is still very young and raw but so was that horible portugese diver when u****d invested. We have got to be challenging Spurs for this lad £7M is not even a gamble as far as im concerned. Giovanni can play on both the left and right! Surely we have got to be interested? I remember Thierry Henry talking about Giovanni and Bojan when he first went to Barca and he was amazed at the talent of them both.
