Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will make Swansea left back Ben Davies his first signing after getting the green light to talk to him.

Spurs have agreed a fee worth up to £8 million the Welsh club for Davies, who is heading for London to agree terms.

Davies seems sure to make the White Hart Lane switch and the chance to fill the boots once worn by his fellow Welshman Gareth Bale.

Pochettino’s move is bad news for Danny Rose, but young Davies is a better defender and the Argentinian admires those qualities.

Davies, 21, has already played 71 senior games for the Swans and is the first choice for Wales at left back.

Swansea boss Garry Monk has already started a search for a replacement and would get all of the money to use.
