Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal worth up to £100m with Newcastle United for midfielder Sandro Tonali.
Spurs previously had a bid of about £80m rejected by Newcastle, but are now set to pay an initial £92.5m plus a further £7.5m in add-ons.
BBC Sport previously reported how manager Roberto De Zerbi is a long-time admirer of the Italian.
De Zerbi identified his countryman as a target during his time in charge of Sassuolo several years ago when Tonali was playing in Serie A.
Spurs are now set to smash their transfer record for the second time this week to bring Tonali to the club after already striking an £85m agreement with West Ham for midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
