The Daily Mail reports that a deal for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lewis Holtby is very close to completion, which will see the player move to Stoke City this January.
The German has been subject of much speculation following the high profile signings at White Hart Lane last summer. The playmaker has been in and out of the side, starting only 6 games in the Premier League so far this season.
The promosing 23-year old made his dream move to North London only last winter from Schalke, however, he has failed to establish himself in the first team since.
Although a move to the Britannia is imminent, German outfit Schalke might have something to say about it after the club was reportedly interested in securing the midfielder’s signature for the second time.
However, having ruled out a move to Germany, the Spurs are all set to sell the outcast to Mark Hughes and Stoke City.
