The 19-year-old Mexican, who was signed at the very end of last season from Barcelona also revealed that their was further interest in him from Italy, as well as the Premier League giants.

''Yes there were offers from them as well as Inter Milan but they are all on the same level as Barcelona,” Dos Santos told the October issue of FourFourTwo.

“These clubs have lots of big stars and it would have made it much more difficult for me to play.”

More first team opportunities at Tottenham was the reason why he chose to play for the Lillywhites.

The youngster also said that he decided to join Juande Ramos' side because of sporting reasons.

He added: “There are players out there that are only interested in money, I put the sporting side of things first. I want to gain the coach's trust and play regularly so I can develop as a player. This is the most important thing.”
