Tottenham gazump Man Utd after agreeing deal to sign £15m-rated Dutch international
TOTTENHAM have surged ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay.
Reports claim Spurs' offer of £10m plus outcast Nacer Chadli accepted by the Dutch club, with a deal expected to be concluded before the end of the week.
Securing the 20-year-old's services would represent a significant coup for Tottenham - his dynamic running, agility and fearless attacking flair make him ideally suited to the frantic pace of the Premier League.
Depay had been expected to join former national team boss Louis Van Gaal at Manchester United, but Mauricio Pochettino has wasted no time in tracking down his man.

The Dutchman signing would constitute the Pochettino's fourth signing of the summer after Eric Dier, Michel Vorm and Ben Davies.
Depay enjoyed a blistering World Cup, netting twice with an assist to boot - helping the Netherland's reach an unexpected semi-final.
He notched up 13 goals for PSV Eindhoven this season, including a pivotal strike in their Europa League campaign.
It remains to be seen if United will lodge a late bid to steal the youngster away from hopeful Tottenham fans.
