Leicester City midfielder James Maddison is having his Tottenham medical on Wednesday as the England star closes in on a £40m move to Spurs.
Tottenham and Leicester have an agreement in place for the 26-year-old England international worth in the region of £40m.
Newcastle were also interested in signing Maddison, who had only a year left on his Leicester contract, but the north east club has since turned its focus to AC Milan’s Sandro Tonali.
Bolstering Tottenham’s midfield options is a top priority ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge.
Spurs have already completed a £17.2m deal for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario this summer, while Dejan Kulusevski has had his loan move from Juventus made permanent.
Meanwhile, Leicester are in talks to sign Harry Winks from Tottenham and Wolves defender Conor Coady.
Winks, 27, can leave Spurs after spending last season on loan at Sampdoria.
