Manchester United forward target completes Tottenham move after passing medical
MOUSSA DEMBELE has joined Tottenham from Championship side Fulham, according to reports.
Moussa Dembele has reportedly joined Tottenham from Fulham
The 19-year-old was understood to have been granted permission to have a medical at Spurs today after the club agreed a £5million fee.
And, according to website Football Insider, the Frenchman has passed his medical and has agreed terms to sign on at White Hart Lane in a cut-price deal.
The report further adds Spurs will pay an initial £1.7m plus add-ons for the forward.
Boss Mauricio Pochettino was tight-lipped when asked about the transfer before Spurs' 4-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Colchester, but it appears they have landed their man.
Manchester United were believed to be keen on signing the youngster after enquiring about his availability, but Dembele seems to have chosen Tottenham as his next club.

It is also understood that all that remains is for Dembele to officially register as a Spurs player, which both Fulham and Spurs are confident of happening before the window closes on Monday.
Demebele's contract at Craven Cottage is set to expire in the summer and he could have left for a European club for as little as £300,000, but Spurs have tempted the Championship side into selling him for an increased fee.
Dembele has also been attracting interest from Liverpool, Everton, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Monaco.
