Sporting Lisbon want to take Giovani dos Santos from Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The Mexican international has struggled since joining the Londoners from Barcelona two years ago, and he spent last season on loan at Galatasaray.

An impressive showing in the World Cup Finals has put Giovani back in the spotlight, and he is said to be attracting interest from Sporting.

The Portuguese giants are expected to contact Spurs sometime this week to discuss what options are open to them signing the forward during the summer.

Harry Redknapp is a big fan of Giovani and would love to give him a chance at White Hart Lane, but there appears to be no obvious openings in his starting eleven.
