Tottenham have beaten off interest from Leicester and struck a deal to sign Victor Wanyama from Southampton.
A fee, believed to be around £11million, has been agreed between the clubs and the Kenyan midfielder is expected to have a medical in the coming days.
Wanyama, who turns 25 next week, is the first player Mauricio Pochettino has successfully lured from his former club Southampton, after failing in previous attempts for Morgan Schneiderlin and Adam Lallana.
Saints had offered the player a new contract but after he snubbed the deal, the managerless south-coast club admitted defeat and have opted to cash in.
