Tottenham will demand £15million if they are to consider selling Sandro.

The Brazilian midfielder is being courted by Napoli, who need a holding player after a series of flimsy performances in the centre last season.

Sandro is thought to be open to the switch to Serie A but the problem is the transfer fee, with Napoli believed to be unwilling to go higher than £9m for the 25-year-old.

New Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino - who is keen to sign Chelsea full-back Ryan Bertrand - is still evaluating his squad and may decide in pre-season that Sandro can be an important part of his plans, so the Italians will have to play a waiting game if they are to get their man.
