Tottenham are close to completing a deal for the transfer of Marseille defender Nicolas Nkoulou, according to reports.

Italian publication CalcioMercato claim a £5.2million bid has been accepted by the French side with the deal set to be announced in the coming days.

The Cameroon international is out of contract in the summer and Marseille don't want to run the risk of losing him for nothing.
