Tottenham look set to sign two of Europe's highest-rated young players as they close on a deal for 17-year-old Dinamo Zagreb pair Tin Jedvaj and Alen Halilovic.

Press reports in Croatia suggest that the teenagers would stay on loan with the Croatian champions if Spurs chief Daniel Levy can complete the ambitious deal.

Roma failed with a £5million offer for Jedvaj last week,

The combined fee for the players could reach £15million including a host of performance-related clauses, with Dinamo president Mirko Barisic claiming the deal is 'all agreed'.

Halilovic featured in the Champions League this season as Dinamo picked up just a solitary point from six games, but the club's sporting director Zdravko Mamic think he can surpass the level of former Spurs favourite Luka Modric:

"A lot of people have compared him to Luka Modric, but he’s better than Luka was at this age.

"Everyone at the club thinks he has even more potential and that he will become one of the best players in the world."

The youngsters would move to White Hart Lane on turning 18 - this winter for Jedvaj while Halilovic would arrive next summer.

Update July 1:

Dinamo Zagreb Sporting Director Zdravko Mamic today confirmed that Spurs are in advanced negotiations over the double deal, but revealed that they have not yet completed the transfer.

"Negotiations with Spurs are in progress - the deal in not yet done," he said.

"We are negotiating with Tottenham. We hope and believe the transfer of those two to Spurs will happen, but it's not yet done."

"When and if the transfer of Halilovi? & Jedvaj to Spurs is confirmed, both Dinamo and Tottenham will publish it officially."
