Tottenham look set to have beaten the likes of Arsenal and Man Utd in the race to sign Simon Kjaer ^[1]. Reports this morning comfirmed that Palermo have accepted a €35m-bid for Defender Simon Kjaer ^[1]and Striker Edinson Cavani

“Tottenham have bid €35m, an offer we cannot refuse, seeing as the two players have both said they want to leave,” Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini told Sky Italia television, stressing that the Serie A club would reinvest the money received from Spurs.

Danish centre-back Kjaer enjoyed two outstanding seasons at Palermo, helping them to finish fifth in Serie A last season, narrowly missing out on Champions League football.

Kjaer, 21, is highly-rated as one of Europe’s most promising defenders and was a summer target of Arsenal ^[1]and Manchester Utd, his arrival at White Hart Lane would be a major statement of intent from Redknapp.
