Tottenham are close to agreeing a £26million move for Juventus forward Dejan Kulusevski, talkSPORT understands.
The fee is less than the £30m option Spurs agreed with the Old Lady when they signed the Swedish winger on an 18-month loan in January last year.

Newly-appointed boss Ange Postecoglou has given the transfer his blessing.
Kulusevski starred in the second half of the 2021/22 season where he helped the north London outfit finish fourth at the expense of Arsenal.
He chipped in with five goals and eight assists from his 18 Premier League outings.
But he failed to make a similar impact in the recent campaign as Spurs finished in eighth spot.
Despite registering seven assists for his team-mates, the 23-year-old found the back of the net just twice from 30 top-flight matches.
Even though fans may have expected better numbers from the forward, he remained a key player under both Antonio Conte and Ryan Mason.
And news of his imminent transfer will no doubt delight supporters who may have feared he would have looked to return to Italy with Spurs to not play in Europe next term.
Kulusevski remained coy on his future last month as he admitted he in unsure where he would be playing his football after the summer.

He said of his future: “I don’t know honestly… we will see.
“I’m just focused on the pitch, I tried to do as good as I can and now of course it’s time to speak with the club.”
