Tottenham are on the brink of confirming the signing of defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta for about £47m.
Romero, 23, was identified as a target by new director of football Fabio Paratici earlier in the summer.
It is understood the Argentine travelled to London on Thursday in order to complete the transfer.
He will be Spurs' third summer signing and will take their outlay leading up to the new season to nearly £70m.
Winger Bryan Gil joined from Sevilla in July while goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini signed on loan, also from Atalanta.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in June the club would have to be careful in the transfer market after sustaining losses of around £200m due to the coronavirus pandemic.
