Tottenham also expect to seal the signing of Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis for ?60m (£55.3m) with the Argentina midfielder also set for a medical at the club’s training ground on Thursday.
The fee for the former Paris Saint-Germain player would match the amount Tottenham paid for Tanguy Ndombele at the start of July, with Pochettino having urged his chairman, Daniel Levy, to back him in the transfer market having reached the Champions League final last season.
