TOTTENHAM have agreed a deal worth £28million for AC Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek.
The Polish striker, 24, is set to sign a 3½-year contract and scheduled to complete a medical in the next 48 hours.
Jose Mourinho’s North Londoners will pay an initial fee of £23.8m — with a further £4.2m to come in add-ons.
Spurs will be
without star goalscorer Harry Kane until April after confirming the England skipper needs to go under the knife to fix his hamstring injury.
Kane limped out of Tottenham's clash with Southampton clutching his left leg and is racing to be fit for Euro 2020 with a ruptured tendon.
SunSport exclusively revealed yesterday that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was desperate to bring in a new striker and planned to hold talks over Piatek.
Aston Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine and
Crystal Palace were interested but Spurs are in pole position to land the ace, who is keen to stay at a big club.
Piatek joined AC Milan from Genoa for £30m in January last year after scoring 13 goals in his 19 games for them following a £3million move from Cracovia.
The Polish international has only scored four times this season and is keen to move after Milan re-signed
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which has pushed him down the pecking order.
Mourinho has also lost Moussa Sissoko until April with the midfielder undergoing knee surgery.
No1 stopper Hugo Lloris is recovering from injury, along with summer signing Tanguy Ndombele and full-back pair Danny Rose and Ben Davies.
