Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Fiorentina defender Dodo at the end of the season, and they have made an enquiry regarding a summer move.
The 26-year-old has done quite well for the Italian club this season, and he has five assists in all competitions. He is capable of operating as a full-back as well as a winger. He could prove to be a quality squad player for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The South American has been linked with Newcastle in the past.
