Giovani Alex Dos Santos Ramírez is a Mexican footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur and the Mexican national team. Dos Santos was a member of the Mexican National U-17 team that won the 2005 U-17 World Cup held in Peru.
Dos Santos is the son of a Brazilian football player Gerardo dos Santos, better known as “Zizinho”, who played for the Mexican soccer clubs América and León in the late 1980s
On 10 June 2008, dos Santos passed a medical and agreed terms to complete his move to Tottenham Hotspur from Barcelona. The transfer fee is initially £4.7 million, with the potential to rise to £8.6 million depending on appearances. The deal also includes a sell-on clause of 20% within dos Santos’ first two years at Spurs, and 10% thereafter.
The young Mexican was on target twice as Tottenham beat local Spanish side Tavernes in an 8-0 thumping on their 2008-09 pre-season tour. These were his first goals for Tottenham. Gio has also impressed in Tottenham’s other pre-season games having major influences in 5-1 wins over Leyton Orient and Norwich City. He also scored the second goal in the 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund to help spurs to make it two wins out of two and take home the Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament trophy.
