Sources in Brazil are saying that Southampton Football Club are in talks with the strikers agents.
Leandro Damiao could be on his way to an unamed Premier League club according to his agent who is indicating he is in talks with said club who Brazilian sources are claiming is Saints.
The players current club Internacional however are disputing this saying that they have not fielded any offers from any club and that they would first need to be in agreement before the player or his agent could open discussions., Indeed they told Brazilian Radio station Radio Guaiba
"There is no offer for Leandro Damiao,"
"We understand the following as an offer: when an agent or club make an official enquiry and expresses interest in the player."
They also stated that they would not entertain offers of less than 25 million euros for the player (approx £22 million in English money)
Spurs had a bid of £17 million turned down in the January transfer window and they may yet come back to the table, certainly the players agent is trying to stir up interest by saying he is in talks with a club, so whether this will be a case of Saints landing a real coup or whether this is could be another wild goose chase, or indeed whether we are actually interested at all will soone become apparent.
If we are interested then it could spell the beginning of the end for Rickie Lambert, Saints are likely to stick with a loan striker next season and to be blunt you dont sign a player at this level of fee either as second choice or one for the future.
