Brazil international striker Leandro Damiao has claimed that Tottenham have already made a bid to sign him in the summer.

Damiao, 22, is a highly rated forward at Internacional, and has been linked with a move to the Premier League on a number of occasions during the past two transfer windows.

French club Paris St Germain have come into the fray in recent weeks, however, but Damiao denied receiving any offer from the Ligue 1 side - saying only Tottenham have already declared a formal interest.

"I am not aware of anything for an offer from Paris SG. I have had no contact with PSG or Leonardo [sporting director]," Damiao told Telefoot. "For now, I think about my club and the Copa Libertadores. In July, if a proposal comes, it will be discussed.

"All that I know is that Tottenham have made an offer."

Tottenham were reported to have bid for Damiao last summer, but a deal never materialised. The White Hart Lane club have already agreed to take Sao Paulo defender Bruno Uvini on an extended trial basis until the end of the season - with a view to a permanent move.
