Boss' Brazilian interest

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in a deal to sign Monaco's Brazilian attacking midfielder Nene.

Spurs boss Juande Ramos was a fan of the 26-year-old's ability during his time at Sevilla, when Nene played for rival outfits Alaves and Celta Vigo.

Monaco would accept a £7.5million bid, according to reports in France, and are well aware that Spurs have just banked £18million from Liverpool for Robbie Keane.

The ex-Santos starlet made 28 appearances in his first season for the Ligue 1 club and scored five goals last term.
