Tottenham have accepted an offer from Al-Duhail for Toby Alderweireld.

The Telegraph says new manager Nuno has sanctioned the sale as he looks to revamp his defence and bring in transfer funds to do so.

Spurs have given Alderweireld the green light to leave, with the defender now set to agree personal terms.

He will then fly to the Middle East to complete a medical and bring a close to his six years at Spurs following his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

Tottenham are already pushing to sign Atalanta centre-back Cristian Romero, who is subject to a £42m offer.

They have also seen an opening bid of around £13m turned down by Bologna for Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Antwerp were believed to have had an approach turned down earlier in the summer which could have seen ex-Ajax man Alderweireld return to Holland.

But Al-Duhail's bid is said to be closer to the £13m that Spurs value the defender at, due to the two years left remaining on his contract.
