Transfer report: Tottenham Hotspur to miss out as Roma close in on Ajax star Justin Kluivert

Roma are close to wrapping up a £17.5million deal for Tottenham Hotspur target Justin Kluivert.

Ajax have opted to sell the winger this summer as he has rejected a new contract with just one year remaining on his present deal.

Tottenham have been tracking the 19-year-old for over a year now and enquired about him when they signed Davinson Sanchez last August.

Roma, however, have since overtaken Spurs in the race for Kluivert and – according to Mediaset Premium – they are on the cusp of signing him.

The Italian club are set to pay £17.
