Skysports.com understands Tottenham are closing in on a deal for Vedran Corluka.

Despite an excellent debut campaign in English football last season at Manchester City, it looks as though the talented Croatian could be on the move.

Free-spending Spurs are in the market for defensive cover following Pascal Chimbonda's move to Sunderland and see Corluka as an ideal addition.

City boss Mark Hughes insisted earlier on Thursday that Corluka has not been given permission to speak to Spurs, but did concede interest in the player had been lodged from other clubs.

However, skysports.com has learnt a deal could soon be struck as both clubs engage in discussions.
