Tottenham target set for Roma switch

Tottenham target Davide Astori is set to complete his move to Roma.

The Cagliari defender was said to be close to a move to Lazio earlier in the summer, but Tottenham were still credited with an interest in the talented 27-year-old.

But Astori caused a surprise when he signed a new contract with Cagliari - and now it seems he is still set for a switch away from the club.

Roma have reportedly offered around £6m for his services and it is thought a deal will be completed before the end of the week, with Sky Sports Italia claiming the player is close to agreeing terms with the Stadio Olimpico based side.
