Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal with Newcastle United for Sebastian Bassong.
The 23-year-old central defender will complete his switch to Spurs after he agrees personal terms and passes a medical.
Bassong, a French Under-21 international, who has international aspirations with Cameroon joined Newcastle last summer from Metz and featured 34 times for the Magpies.
A statement on the club’s official website read: “We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Newcastle United for the transfer of Sebastien Bassong to the club, following the player successfully completing a medical examination and agreeing personal terms.”
Bassong will be suspended for the first two games of the season, following his sending-off against Fulham towards the end of the last Premiership campaign.
