Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue has reportedly passed his medical at Tottenham Hotspur.

Capoue has been the subject of negotiations between the two clubs in recent weeks and will become a Spurs player later this week after he came through his examination unscathed, according to Sky Sports News.

Spurs have already added Brazilian international Paulinho to their midfield ranks this summer, and it looks as though the 25-year-old Capoue will join him before the new Premier League season is underway this weekend.

Capoue is expected to arrival at White Hart Lane for around £9m.
