Injury has prevented Sandro from playing for Spurs so far this season

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro has signed a new five-year contract at White Hart Lane.

The Brazil international was being linked with a move to Italian side Roma, but will now stay with Spurs until the summer of 2016.

He joined Spurs from Brazilian side Internacional in the summer of 2010 and played 26 games last season.

However, the 22-year-old has missed the start of this term because of a knee injury sustained at the Copa America.
