Tottenham have agreed a €62 million deal with Lyon that could rise to €72m for the transfer of Tanguy Ndombele, sources have told ESPN FC. The France international, 22, will become the Premier League club's record transfer, smashing the £42m they paid Ajax for Davidson Sanchez in 2017.

Personal terms are yet to be agreed, but that should not be an issue, and the deal is expected to be announced this week, according to sources. The player is set to travel to London for his medical and be ready to join his new teammates when they report back for preseason on July 8.

It was important to both Ndombele and manager Mauricio Pochettino that the midfielder be at the club by that date so he can take part in the whole of preseason.
