Vlad Chiriches: Set for move

The 23-year-old Romania international has been a target for Spurs all summer but a deal looked to have fallen through at the start of this month.

Now the two clubs look set to announce a deal of around £7million in the coming days for the highly-rated defender.

Steaua coach Laurentiu Reghecampf has now revealed that Chiriches is set to join Tottenham after their forthcoming Champions League play-off second leg with Legia Warsaw on Tuesday.

"Chiri's condition is good and the clubs have agreed to transfer him. I'm very happy for him," Reghecampf said after Steaua's 2-2 draw with Gaz Metan Medias on Saturday evening.

"I hope he will help us on Tuesday night and of course that he stays healthy.

"The club made ​​money on him and I cannot say the amount for which he is transferred, but it is very high."
