Italian giants AC Milan are set to bid for Tottenham's midfield giant Sandro after the Brazilian's impressive performances over the recently crowned Serie A champions.

Massimo Allegri is willing to offer former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini plus a nominal transfer fee in order to secure the signature of Sandro who stifiled the influence of Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo during his sides 1-0 defeat to Spurs back in February.

However, any move regarding Flamini is likely to go down badly in the Spurs camp after the Frenchman launched a studs up challenge on defender Vedran Corluka who later claimed the Milan midfielder should have been in jail for the tackle.

Any move is likely to be rebuffed for the Brazilian midfielder, who recently scored his first goal for the club, with the Spurs management team holding Sandro in the highest regard following a series of superb displays in the Spurs midfield.
