Tottenham have opened talks with Nottingham Forest over a possible £60m move for Morgan Gibbs-White.
Well-placed sources have told BBC Sport that a potential move to north London for the England international is set to accelerate in the coming days.
Gibbs-White, who has four England caps, was on Manchester City's radar earlier this summer but Pep Guardiola's side have since cooled their interest.
The 25-year-old, who scored seven goals and added eight assists in 34 Premier League games last season, has attracted interest from a number of England's top sides in recent months, but Spurs have stepped-up their efforts to sign the midfielder.
