Capoue to be announced as a Spurs player

Tottenham Hotspur’s deal to sign Etienne Capoue is set to be confirmed later today or by tomorrow, according to the BBC.

The defensive midfielder is undergoing a medical at Tottenham today and will join us from Toulouse for a fee in the region of £9million.

Earlier today, Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay admitted that the 25-year-old was “set to go elsewhere” and he appears to be right.

Capoue can also fill in as a central defender, which will ease the pressure on AVB’s injury concerns over Younes Kaboul and Jan Vertonghen following the sale of Steven Caulker.

He would be our fourth summer signing, joining Paulinho, Nacer Chadli and Roberto Soldado in making the move to N17.
