Etienne Capoue has passed his medical and will therefore join Tottenham Hotspurs for a fee of 9.4 million sterling. The Toulouse midfielder was on Tottenham’s radar for quite sometime. Capoue said that following his medical the deal should go through very soon once all the papers will be signed. This summer, Tottenham have already signed Bazil international midfielder, Paulinho. It seems that Capoue will be available for Tottenham’s opener against Crystal Palace. Earlier in this transfer window he was close to joining Cardiff but the move did not materialize as personal terms couldn’t be struck.
