Tottenham are understood to have received work permit clearance for Brazilian loan striker Carlos Vinicius.
Spurs have an agreement with Benfica to sign the 25-year-old on a season long loan with a £36m option to buy.
The London club need a work permit as Vinicius does not have international caps but it is understood that their application has now been granted.
Vinicius is expected to undergo a medical with Spurs on Friday.
Jose Mourinho has been searching for a back-up for England captain Harry Kane and had considered moves for Southampton’s Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins, who eventually moved from Brentford to Aston Villa.
