Spurs told to pay £15m for Brazilian wonderkid
Tottenham have been told by Atletico Mineiro they will have to pay at least £15m to land Brazilian starlet Bernard.
Spurs head coach Andre Villas-Boas is well-connected in Brazil and pays close attention to the country's emerging talents.
Bernard is one of the hottest properties in South America and while Spurs are hopeful of getting their man for less than the asking price, interest from Borussia Dortmund may force Daniel Levy's hand.
