Tottenham are reported to be on the verge of signing Diego Capel from Sevilla after agreeing terms with the player and meeting his buy-out clause.

The north London club are poised to confirm a deal to take the left-sided starlet to White Hart Lane having met the 15million euros (£12million) asking price, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Sevilla were desperate for Capel to sign a new deal that would see his buy-out clause increase, but disagreements between the player's agents and club president Jose Maria del Nido apparently prevented talks from taking place.

Tottenham are believed to have agreed a four-year deal with the 20-year-old and he is keen to work with Spurs boss Juande Ramos once again after rising to prominence under him in Spain.

Capel's buy-out clause before he had played 40 league games for the club was 12million euros and that was when Spurs first made contact.
