Now, the player is busy playing back in his homeland with Sao Paolo on season long loan spell from Corinthians, and scored 15 goals last season.
Here is how Spurs supporters reacted to the rumours…
Apparently we’re close to signing Pato, not sure how I feel about that. He used to be class but now? #COYS #thfc

If the Pato rumor is true then I’m happy. We don’t need him to be a star, just a useful cog in the Poch machine #THFC #COYS

I really don’t think we should sign Pato in Jan, but if we do, it’s because Poch has a plan for him. And in that case, I’m all in. #COYS

Not sure about #Pato would he be a player Poch could mould? Or would his injury problems come back? Maybe a 30 min man? #spurs #COYS

Pato is the new Damiao. #COYS

Does #Pato have the right attitude to fit into the current squad? Will he handle being back up to Kane? Big questions #THFC #COYS
