Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the transfer of Marseille star Nicolas N’Koulou, according to reports.

Spurs are looking to add to their squad in January as they target a Premier League title push.

And the 25-year-old defender has agreed a switch to Tottenham Hotspur, according to Calciomercato (via Le10Sport).

N’Koulou is out of contract in the summer so Marseille are keen to not lose him for free and have welcomed offers.


And a bid of £5.2million was accepted for the centre-back.
