Tottenham Hotspur close in on transfer of long term target Konoplyanka as Paulinho nears exit

Tottenham Hotspur are chasing the signature of their long term target Yevhen Konoplynaka, who is out of contract at Dnipro in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be closing in on the signing of Yevhen Konoplyanka who is set to leave Dnipro for free in the summer. Ukrainian winger was chased by Liverpool and Tottenham last summer but the reds failed to make the final move on time and the transfer did not complete.

Dnipro are said to be interested in transfer as they do not want to see him leave for free. It is believed that the club are expecting a bid of around seven million pounds for the winger. Tottenham are not the only team looking for the signing as Manchester United, Everton, West Ham, Monaco and Parma have all made inquiries for the player. However, the winger is said to be interested in signing for Spurs as they fit the style of play and he has attracted the interest of North London outfit for long time now.

Tottenham are desperate to sign the player but should clear some place in the squad if they are to sign the winger. Spurs are trying to let go as much as six players as they are out of the first team and have been earning a lot to warm the bench. Paulinho is said to be discussing a move to Juventus while Parma are keen to sign Etienne Capoue. Emmanuel Adebayor have attracted interest from Roma and Besiktas but his wage have fend of interest from both the parties. Kyle Naughton is said to be closing in on joining Swansea on a four million deal and could see the move go through. Benoit Assou Ekotto, who has not been named even once in the squad this season is all set to leave along with Aaron Lennon, who has sparked interest from various premier league clubs.
