Tottenham confident signing Juventus pair Kulusevski and Bentancur

Tottenham are confident signing Juventus pair Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur before tomorrow's transfer deadline.

Deals for Kulusevski and Bentancur are very close to completion with the expectation that both will get over the line before tomorrow's deadline, says the Daily Mail.

Kulusevski will join on loan with a view to joining permanently in the summer.

The 21-year-old has made 20 Serie A appearances for Juventus this season but has only started in half of those, completing the full 90 minutes just three times.

He is seen as a good option for the club as he can play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder, which will give them more options in attack.

Tottenham had a clear run for Bentancur after Aston Villa pulled out of any deal for the Uruguay international.

Despite sources at Juventus claiming they had rejected a £21m offer from the Midlands club, Villa insiders insist they did not make any formal bid and subsequently ended their interest in the 24-year old on Thursday.
