Tottenham transfer news: Tottenham close in on double deadline day swoop

TOTTENHAM are set to make two signings before tonight’s deadline.

The North Londoners completed an £11million swoop for Marseille midfielder Georges-Kevin NKoudou – with Clinton Njie going in the opposite direction on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old has signed a contract at White Hart Lane until 2021 and will wear the number 14 shirt.

And Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is close to agreeing a deal with his old club Espanyol for their highly-rated young keeper Pau Lopez.

The Spain Under-21 stopper – known simply as Pau – was on Tottenham’s radar before Hugo Lloris picked up a hamstring injury in their Premier League opener at Everton.

Pochettino sees Pau as the long-term understudy and challenger to his captain Lloris and wants to sign him permanently.
