Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 30, 2013 BBC Sport had earlier reported that the 23-year-old was in London to finalise a deal believed to be worth around £8.5 million. He earlier played for FC International Curtea de Arges and Pandurii Targu Jiu before joining Steauea Bucharest in 2011/12. It is also understood that Spurs are close to completing the deal for Roma forward Erik Lamela in a deal worth £25,7 million. The Lamela move could trigger the completion of Gareth Bale?s mooted move to Real Madrid which seems to be stalling as Tottenham look for a suitable replacement.
