Spurs target Leandro Damiao has admitted to his interest in playing in England and Italy.
The 22-year-old was reported to be the subject of a bid from Tottenham last year and says he feels strikers are most appreciated in England and Italy.
“There will come a day when I will play in Europe,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“It will be very important for me to learn and improve. For my style and strength, I think I could adapt to any major league in Europe. But it seems to me that strikers are most appreciated in Italy and England.”
Inter Milan were thought to have made a bid for his services but Damiao said that wasn’t the case.
“There has been no offer (from Inter), only a few contacts,” he continued.
“The only offer came from Tottenham, but it wasn’t the right time to go.
“But I would like to play in Italy: there are many strong clubs, great champions, and Serie A is competitive. We’ll see.”
