Spurs Odyssey understands that Juande Ramos is using his Spanish contacts to try and secure the services of Barcelona's 18 year old starlet winger - Giovanni Dos Santos.

Whether Spurs would be able to secure the winger on a permanent or loan basis remains to be seen, but I understand that a fee of around £15 million euros has been proposed.

Dos Santos is certainly an exciting prospect. He plays on the left or right and can cross effectively with both feet. Dos Santos already has 4 full international caps, having represented Mexico against Panama, Brazil, Nigeria and Guatemala. He spent the 2006-7 season in the Barcelona B team, and this season has played for 90 minutes for Barca just 3 times, scoring in their Champions League game against Stuttgart.

Also on the transfer front, Spurs Odyssey can confirm that the Alan Hutton deal is not off, as the Scottish full-back spends a few days thinking about the offer that was accepted by his club.
