Tottenham Hotspur 'nearing Marcelo Brozovic deal'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to signing Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

Spurs are yet to bring in any new players ahead of the transfer window closing next Thursday, which has caused concern for manager Mauricio Pochettino.

According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, however, Croatian midfielder Brozovic could be Tottenham's first new addition in a busy week for the club.

The source says that Inter are prepared to offload the 25-year-old to raise funds for their own transfer plans, and Pochettino has reportedly identified the midfielder as a replacement for Moussa Dembele, who is reportedly close to leaving North London.

Brozovic has assisted 18 goals and assisted 19 others in 112 appearances for his Serie A employers.
