Lucas Moura has undergone a medical at Tottenham's training ground at Hotspur Way ahead of completing a £25m move from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 25-year-old Brazilian arrived in London via Eurostar on Monday night and was transported to the Spurs base in Enfield on Tuesday morning.
The deal is expected to be signed off on Wednesday, according to Sky sources, meaning Moura has not been registered before Tuesday's midday deadline for him to be eligible for selection against Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Moura, who has 36 caps and four goals for Brazil, started his career at Sao Paulo and was also of interest to Napoli, Sevilla, Valencia and a club in China.
He joined PSG in January 2013 and has since made over 150 appearances for the French side. He has won four Ligue 1 titles and three Coupe de France trophies during his time in Paris.
