TOTTENHAM chief Juande Ramos has agreed to splash out £4.5million for Espanyol’s No1 Carlos Kameni.
The White Hart Lane boss is now discussing personal terms with the Cameroon keeper and hopes to clinch the signing in the next few weeks.
Spurs are prepared to offer Kameni, 24, a three-year deal worth around £30,000 a week.
It is understood the player wants a longer contract and discussions are ongoing.
But it signals the end for Tottenham’s England keeper Paul Robinson as part of a major reshuffle in the summer. Former England No 1 Robinson is a target for Middlesbrough and Aston Villa.
From the Mirror:
Tottenham manager Juande Ramos has agreed a £4.5million deal with Spain's Espanyol for Cameroon keeper Carlos Kameni.
Kameni must now agree personal terms as he has been offered a three-year deal at White Hart Lane - but is holding out for a four-year deal worth £30,000-a-week.
However Ramos is now confident of getting his top keeper target Kameni after fending off interest from Manchester United following positive reports from the Red Devils' European scout Martin Ferguson, brother of their boss Sir Alex.
Spurs' spending on keepers will not end there as they are set for a shake-up this summer which could spell the end for Paul Robinson and Radek Cerny, who are both set to leave White Hart Lane at the end of the season.
Tottenham have looked at Villarreal's Diego Lopez, but are not prepared to meet the £4.5m price tag.
Scouting trips to Germany have also failed to find the top-class keeper they crave.
But Ramos is in the driving seat for Kameni and his agents IMG have given the go-ahead for the start of talks.
An IMG source admitted: "They are now negotiating a deal - and there is a hope that it will end positively."
Tottenham are also interested in Espanyol's Spanish centre-half Dani Jarque, 24, and his name is still on their agenda this summer as Ramos looks to strengthen his squad.
