It now appears that Tottenham Hotspur have moved into the driver’s seat in the race to complete the signing of Croatian starlet Tin Jedvaj.

The defender had been closely linked with a move to a number of both Italian and English sides during this summer mercato.

However, transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio told Sky that despite the fact that Roma had looked to be in pole position to sign the youngster, he now looks likely to perhaps end up at Spurs.

Last week, Roma had a €5m bid for the player rejected by current club Dinamo Zagreb.

His agent also confirmed that among the clubs interested are AC Milan and Arsenal.
