His agent, Victor Becali told Sport Total FM (kindly translated on Twitter by Spurs fan and journalist Călin Mateş:  “At this moment, Tottenham are a team that deserve to have such a player.

“The clubs have agreed on the fee, now he has to take his medical and sign the contract.

“He won’t change his character (after a big move) like you see with other players.

“On Thursday he will be officially unveiled by Tottenham.”

Becali revealed that Dinamo Moscow had made a late enquiry for Chiricheș: “We talked to Dan Petrescu (Dinamo Moscow manager) but their owners came in too late.

“Even if he would’ve been coached by a fellow Romanian (at Dinamo Moscow), England is England.”
