The 20-year-old is one of the hottest properties in South American football and Spurs are keen to add him to their crop of young talent at White Hart Lane.

Earlier this week, Cruzeiro president Alvimar Perrella claimed Spurs had failed in an initial bid but urged them to get closer to the £6million asking price.

Marcelo Moreno has averaged around a goal a game for Cruzeiro, who are based in Belo Horizonte, and made his international debut for Bolivia last year.
