Tottenham have been outbid by Lyon for Pape Cheikh Diop but the Celta Vigo starlet is won over by the idea of a move to London.
Spurs offered close to £9million for the 20-year-old midfielder last week and must find more before the La Liga club will agree to sell.
Lyon have opened with a larger bid and proposed a lucrative package of personal terms for Pape Cheikh.
Mauricio Pochettino is still waiting for his first signing of the summer but Tottenham are closing in on a number of targets with the deadline two weeks away.
