Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC on alert as Leandro Damiao set for Internacional exit - Crunchsports.com

Leandro Damiao, who has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, is likely to be on the move this summer, Internacional have admitted.

Damiao hinted late last year that he could make a move to the Premiership in the future, with Chelsea a possible destination, while the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and rivals Manchester United have also shown interest.

The Brazil international has been on Tottenham's radar for some time, however, and Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas was believed to have been preparing a £15million bid as he looked to bring in a forward before the January transfer window closed.

A number of European clubs are believed to be keen on signing the 23-year-old, and Internacional's director of football, Luis Cesar Souto de Moura, has admitted he expects the forward to be sold when the transfer window reopens.

"Leandro Damiao is indeed the player that is most likely to leave Internacional, especially because foreign clubs are interested," he told UOL.
