Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur and Gent are now just a few million apart in their respective valuations of Gift Orban.
With Harry Kane having sealed his long-awaited move to Bayern Munich, the focus now shifts to who Tottenham replace the 30-year-old with.

Spurs Web Opinion
By the sounds of it, this deal should be fairly straightforward to complete. However, Gent would be aware that Spurs now have quite a bit of money to spend, which is why they could potentially increase their asking price, particularly given the impressive start that Orban has had to the new season.
