In what comes as a potential blow to Tottenham in their pursuit of Brazilian sensation, Andre Trindade, The Sunday Mirror (19/11; page 74, via TBR Football) have claimed that Fulham are now leading the race to sign the Fluminense youngster.
Andre has emerged as one of the best young talents in Brazilian football over the last couple of years and with the defensive midfielder now having broken into the Selecao set-up, a move to Europe seems on the horizon for the youngster.
Tottenham’s interest in the 22-year-old came to light a little over a week ago when Lance claimed that the North London club sent scouts to watch the youngster in action in the Copa Libertadores final, where Fluminense beat Boca Juniors 2-1.
It was subsequently reported by talkSPORT last week that Spurs face competition from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United for the midfielder.

Fulham now front of the queue for Andre
The Sunday Mirror have now said that Andre looks destined to be the next Brazilian prospect to make his way to the Premier League, with a January exit now looking quite likely.
The outlet reveals that while scouts from Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool have watched the youngster, it is Fulham who have now moved into pole position in the race.
The publication adds that the Cottagers have identified Andre as their top target to replace Joao Palhinha, who is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich.
Spurs Web Opinion
I fully expect Tottenham to leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of Andre and to try and convince the youngster that working under a coach like Postecoglou would be ideal for his development.
However, the 22-year-old and his entourage might feel that a stepping stone at a mid-table club like Fulham would be the best move for the player’s career.
