Tottenham and Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Conor Gallagher worth £34m.
Sky Sports News earlier reported that Spurs were in the market for a midfielder after Rodrigo Bentancur was ruled out for the majority of the season with a hamstring injury.
Aston Villa and Tottenham both approached Atletico about signing Gallagher. But talks are now heading firmly in the direction of Spurs.

The England international signed for the Spanish club in the summer of 2024 for around £38m.
Gallagher, 25, has a contract with Atletico until the summer of 2029.
