Didier Drogba looks set to snub a move to Italian giants AC Milan and make the trip across London to Spurs.
The north Londoners are in pole position to land the Chelsea striker whose days at Stamford Bridge have been numbered since the arrival of Fernando Torres for a British transfer record fee of £50m.
A striker is a top priority for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp and 33-year-old Drogba fits the profile with 145 goals in 306 games for Chelsea.
Jermain Defoe, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Peter Crouch scored just 17 Premier League goals between them last season, one of the reasons Spurs dropped out of the Champions League places.
Drogba is Redknapp’s top target, but his wages are the only stumbling block. Spurs will have to smash their wage structure to land the Ivorian who is also attracting interest from Manchester City, a move which would see him united with Ivory Coast teammates Kolo and Yaya Toure.
The Stamford Bridge clear-out has already started with defender Michael Mancienne joining Hamburg while the futures of Michael Essien, Alex, Salomon Kalou, Yuri Zhirkov and Florent Malouda still remain uncertain.
