French club Marseille are in advanced talks to sign Tottenham and Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The 28-year-old is believed to be ready to leave north London and is available for about £17m.
Discussions are continuing over payment terms, but both sides expect the deal to go through. Hojbjerg joined Spurs in 2020 in a £15m deal from Southampton when Jose Mourinho was in charge.
The midfielder made 39 appearances for the club last season but only 10 of those were starts as Ange Postecoglou favoured Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr in central midfield.
The Dane has entered the last year of his contract with Tottenham and will be available on a free transfer in 2025 if fresh terms are not agreed.
Spurs have strengthened their midfield this summer with the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds, while Lucas Bergvall has joined from Swedish club Djurgardens.
Marseille have been on a recruitment drive since appointing former Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi.
Forward Mason Greenwood has joined from Manchester United and midfielder Ismael Kone completed a move from Watford this month, while they are reportedly interested in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.
Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos is expected to return to sister club Strasbourg on loan this season.
The clubs, both owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's parent company BlueCo, have been in talks about the 20-year-old.
Santos is believed to be open to returning to the French top-flight club where he excelled in the second half of 2023-24.
However, the one-cap Brazil international is expected to wait until after Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States and train under new manager Enzo Maresca for a few more weeks.
