The 19-year-old Mexico midfielder told Spanish newspaper Sport that he expects to be wearing a Spurs shirt when the new campaign gets under way.

"Next season I will be playing for Tottenham," he said.

Dos Santos has undergone an ankle operation since scoring a hat-trick for Barca at the end of the season, and Spurs have been reported to be monitoring his recovery.

So far this summer, head coach Juande Ramos has signed Croatia playmaker Luka Modric from Dinamo Zagreb, while teenager John Bostock has agreed to join from Crystal Palace but a fee has not been agreed with the two clubs.

With Dimitar Berbatov's future uncertain, Ramos has been linked with a host of players from Spain, the latest suggestion being Sergio Garcia, who plays as a forward for Real Zaragoza and a winger for his country.

Goalkeeper Radek Cerny has been allowed to leave for QPR and more are expected to follow, including the likes of Ricardo Rocha and Lee Young-Pyo.

Cerny's departure means another goalkeeper is among the priorities for Ramos and sporting director Damien Comolli.
