Sandro signs new five-year contract at Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur's Brazil midfielder Sandro has signed a new five-year contract, the club said yesterday.

The 22-year-old made an impact in his debut season at White Hart Lane and has become a regular in the Brazil squad, winning seven caps, but is currently sidelined with a knee injury sustained at the Copa America in the summer. He joined Spurs from Internacional a year ago.
