Bengaluru, August 23: Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly 'a few hours away' from sealing the signing of Estudiantes defender Juan Foyth, in a deal said to be worth around €13million, a bargain in the inflated market right now.

The 19-year-old has been linked with a move to Spurs for a number of weeks, as the negotiation process has been pretty lengthy. However, now it is believed that Spurs are closing in on sealing a deal for the youngster.

According to 'El Dia', Foyth is now just a matter of hours away from completing his move to London, as they claim that the legal proceedings to sign off on the deal will be sorted ahead of a €13million move being concluded.

With the relevant documents being filed, Foyth is expected to travel to England on Thursday, as per the report, where he will sign his new Tottenham contract and likely be unveiled to the media and supporters.

It also added that his medical will take place on Tuesday in Stuttgart, and he will sign a five-year deal with Tottenham to become their second summer signing after the acquisition of Davinson Sanchez from Ajax.

Mauricio Pochettino has seemingly made a point of strengthening his defence this summer, and it's difficult to see him doing much else given there is just over a week to go until the deadline passes.

As a result, while Sanchez and Foyth are two exciting signings, it's questionable as to whether any more new faces will be added to the Spurs squad.

At one moment of time, it looked like PSG had beaten Spurs to Foyth, but last week Tottenham's move was confirmed by reports in both England and Argentina.

Whilst PSG were interested in Foyth, Mauricio Pochettino has played a key role in bringing the youngster to Spurs and the deal is now very close.
