Manchester United are reportedly poised to complete the signing of Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld as early as Monday.
According to Simon Mullock of the Sunday Mirror, the Red Devils have struck a £60 million deal with Spurs to sign the Belgian defender. It's said they were unwilling to meet the £75 million initial valuation that Tottenham had placed on the player.
Mullock added that negotiations have advanced in the last 48 hours, though, with Alderweireld now poised to make the switch to United in the coming days.
"Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, aware that Alderweireld was prepared to run down his contract before leaving when he became available for a cut-price fee, has now accepted that it would be better business to allow the former Ajax, Atletico Madrid and Southampton favourite to leave now at an optimum price," continued Mullock.
