Tottenham are wrapping up the signing of Juventus midfielder Tiago.

The Observer says Tottenham should complete the signing of Tiago this week after agreeing a £9.7m transfer fee with Juventus. The former Chelsea and Lyon midfielder has yet to agree personal terms at White Hart Lane, but is surplus to requirements at Juventus after falling out of favour with coach Claudio Ranieri.

"I can't stay here any longer," said Tiago. "The best thing for me would be to leave."
