Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be closing in on CSKA Moscow midfielder Keisuke Honda, reports Daily Express.
With the player’s contract set to expire in December, the Japanese is likely to become one of the most sought-after players in the January window.
He was on the verge of joining AC Milan in the summer, but few more top European clubs have since joined the race.
Liverpool, Juventus and Monaco are all thought to be keen, but Daily Express has learned that Tottenham have moved to the pole position.
The Spurs are spoilt for choices in attacking midfield area following heavy summer recruitment, but they do not want to pass on such a good opportunity to sign a world-class footballer free of charge.
Keisuke Honda, 27, has made a total of 87 Russian Premier League appearances for the Army Men, scoring 20 goals and winning one league title in the process.
