Standard Sport understands a £55million fee has been agreed, and a medical has been booked for Thursday.
His contract features an £85m release clause for British clubs, though this is only valid until Thursday. Spurs were confident throughout negotiations that they would be able to secure a significant discount on that fee.
Spurs have pipped Chelsea to a deal for the Ghana international, amid reports the Blues could look to him as a replacement for Noni Madueke should he decide to join Arsenal. Kudus was offered to Chelsea earlier this summer, but a deal did not materialise due to a gap in valuation.
He was understood to be prioritising Champions League football when looking for a new club, and had set his heart on a move to North London soon after they expressed interest. Spurs will return to UEFA’s top club competition next season and qualified by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final in May.
