Anyone who had watched yesterday’s semi-finals in the Olympic men’s soccer tournament would have walked away being incredibly impressed by the performances of Mexico and Brazil. Both teams deservedly won their matches and will now feature in the final on Saturday, in the race for the gold medal. But one player in particular who stood out yesterday was Leandro Damião, who is being chased by Tottenham Hotspur as a possible new signing for the north London club.

If Tottenham can sign Damião, that will be an incredible signing for the Spurs given the talent and poise that the Brazilian striker possesses. Personally, I’d love to see him in the Premier League.
