Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign France midfielder Etienne Capoue from Ligue 1 club Toulouse.
The 25-year-old is undergoing a medical and the White Hart Lane outfit are expected to announce his arrival later on Friday, or Saturday.
Reports suggest Capoue, who scored seven goals in 33 top flight games last season, will join for a fee in the region of £9m.
Capoue, who has won five caps for France, can also play at centre-back.
When previously asked about the player's suggested move to White Hart Lane, Toulouse president Olivier Sadran was quoted in L'Equipe as telling RMC: "He will go there."
Tottenham are short in defence after Steven Caulker moved to Cardiff, while Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul are recovering from injuries.
Capoue would become their fourth summer signing, following Brazilian midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians, Belgium winger Nacer Chadli from FC Twente and Spain striker Roberto Soldado from Valencia for a club record £26m.
His arrival could pave the way for a midfielder to leave White Hart Lane, with Scott Parker linked to West Ham and Queens Park Range

back to capoue, and we better hang on to avb now.
if we ever want to ditch the 433 (which it looks like we will be playing this season) we're going to have a few players hanging about not doing much.
