Tottenham are close to securing a deal with French club Metz for teenage midfielder Pape Matar Sarr this summer, according to reports.
Sportsmail revealed this week that Sarr, 18, was on the radar of several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City after a breakout season in France last term.
The all-action midfielder made 22 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, scoring three times, after being promoted to the first-team in November after just one reserve team appearance.
And according to The Athletic, Tottenham are nearing an agreement for the midfielder but a deal has not been finalised yet and Spurs face competition from four other English clubs and Italian side Atalanta.
