Rio de Janeiro: Former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato could be headed to German club Wolfsburg, according to media reports.

ESPN Brasil on Monday reported that Wolfsburg see the Brazil international footballer as an ideal replacement for Croatian forward Ivan Perisic, who is said to be close to joining Inter Milan, said a news agency.

The 25-year-old has been in prolific form for Brazil’s Sao Paulo this year, scoring 18 goals from 35 matches.

But the Bundesliga outfit face competition for Pato’s signature from Tottenham Hotspur, the portal added.

Pato was once considered one of the world’s most promising strikers but has been beset in recent seasons due to poor form and injury.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
