Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Julio Cesar.

Andre Villas-Boas is keen to find a new goalkeeper this summer, as he looks to increase the competition on American star Brad Friedel.

The Portuguese coach initially hoped to lure France international Hugo Lloris to White Hart Lane, but is refusing to meet Lyon’s £18million asking price.

It is believed AVB has now turned his attention to Brazilian ace Julio Cesar, who is set to lose his place in the Internazionale side to Samir Handanovic.
