Giovanni Dos Santos Agrees Spurs move

Barcelona starlet Giovanni Dos Santos has decided to move onto the English Premier League in a 6 million Euro move from Catalan giants Barcelona. The Mexican who was said to be disturbed by the rather persistent booing by sections of Nou Camp at the end of last season will finalise further details this coming week and joins a long legion of young stars from La Masia the Barcelona training ground, he been enticed by first team action and the big money in the English game.

Dos Santos aged 19 was fast forwarded into the Barcelona senior squad after some impressive showing in the Barcelona-B team and the Under-19 world cup last year. The Mexican starlet was hyped up to be Ronaldinho’s eventual replacement in Blaugrana colours. However, Giovanni did find the going tough in a miserable season for Barcelona and although he did end the season with a hat trick, questions were raised about his attitude and ability. Giovanni is also said to be perturbed having fallen behind in the ranks at Barcelona with teenager Bojan starting more games ahead of him in a frustrating season.

This signing is Spur’s second major signing of the season having signed Luka Modric for an estimated $30 million earlier this summer. Spurs won their first silverware in many a season last with the Carling Cup success and with Juande Ramos looking to make a full fledged assault on the top four of English football, expect more signings at the White Hart lane as the summer draws on.
