Brentford have agreed a £25m (€30m) deal in principle with Club Brugge to sign winger Antonio Nusa.
The Bees are also willing to allow the 18-year-old to stay at the Belgian club on loan for the rest of the season.
Nusa is yet to undergo a medical with Brentford.
Tottenham had been in talks over a deal for Nusa that would have seen him remain at Club Brugge until the end of the season.
Spurs had also looked into signing the Norway international last summer but he now looks set to join their London rivals.
Nusa has four goals and three assists in 28 games for Club Brugge this season. He has made a total of 64 appearances for the club since joining from Norwegian side Stabaek in the summer of 2021.
Brentford have been among the most active Premier League sides in the January window, signing Sergio Reguilon on loan from Spurs, goalkeeper Hakon Rafn Valdimarsson from Elfsborg and midfielder Yunus Emre Konak from Sivasspor.
Spurs may be set to miss out on Nusa but they were able to strengthen their forward options with the loan signing of Timo Werner earlier this month.
Ange Postecoglou's side also brought in defender Radu Dragusin from Genoa.
The winter transfer window is open and will close at 11pm in England and 11.30pm in Scotland on Thursday February 1.
To ensure harmonisation with the major leagues in Europe, the closing dates were set following discussions with the EFL, DFL, Serie A, LaLiga, and LFP, who will all close their summer and winter windows on 1 September and 1 February respectively.
