Arsenal, Tottenham in race to sign Damiao

Leandro Damiao's representatives confirm that Arsenal and Tottenham have expressed an interest in the striker.

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have approached Brazilian and Internacional striker Leandro Damiao, the player's agent has claimed.

The frontman has been also linked with Liverpool and Italian outfit Juventus.

While the 22-year-old has sparked interest from a number of clubs around Europe, the forward's representatives Sivori & Asociados have claimed that the North London rivals have stepped up their pursuit of the Brazil international.

"The big clubs wait to take player like him, to be sure that a player does well, that he can prove himself," a spokesman told Sky Italia.

"In January, Damiao would cost less than now, but was still considered a risk. Now Damiao has important requests. There is a good offer of Tottenham, one from Arsenal and even some Spanish clubs are sounding out Internacional.

"It's normal - he's a striker born in 1989, he attracts a lot interest. It should be considered, however, that he has a non-EU passport."

Damiao has scored 17 goals in 13 appearances in Internacional.
