Tottenham link Leandro Damiao stays

Internacional striker Leandro Damiao will be staying at the club next season, despite the reported interest in the young Brazilian from Premier League side Tottenham.

Leandro Damiao had reportedly been valued by his club at approximately £9m, and Spurs had made more than one offer for the player.

However, that transfer talk can now all be forgotten as the player signed a new contract with his club.

"Plaudits must go to president Giovanni Luigi, who did a tremendous effort to keep him with us for this season," Internacional coach Paulo Roberto Falcao.

"This new agreement gives us peace and we can now close the talk of his departure.

"Now Leandro Damiao is at a wage level with the most valued players in the country."
