Tottenham have been handed the chance to sign Santos star Ganso after contract talks broke down this week.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder - whose full name is Paulo Henrique Chagas da Lima - has won seven caps for Brazil and is being tipped for a big future.

Ganso was linked with Spurs earlier in the summer, and now Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro has revealed he will be made available for transfer after turning down a new deal.

Tottenham are reportedly already in for another Brazil-based midfielder, Sao Paulo's Oscar, and reportedly tabled an £11million bid - but they could capture Ganso for less than that.

Ribeiro, whose prize asset Neymar is also coveted by English clubs, said: "Only Neymar is not negotiable.

''All other players, including Ganso, have the door open, depending on the proposals as they arise.

''If the will of Ganso is to leave, and there are clubs interested, then we are willing to listen to offers for him.''

Chelsea, Porto and Manchester United have also been linked with the midfielder, whose contract expires in 2015.

Spurs bought Hoffenheim midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson this week, and have signed winger Gareth Bale to a new contract but are expected to sell playmaker Luka Modric this summer.
