And breathe

Daniel Levy will be breathing a huge sigh of relief after finally agreeing this deal.

For so long, this transfer has looked like it would be a difficult one to do, and with Levy locking horns with Evangelos Marinakis, it was tough to see this one ending without a lot of drama attached.

However, it now looks as though Spurs are about to get their man, and it sounds like Tottenham will be having a very fruitful deadline day to say the least.
