Manchester United defender Ezekiel Fryers has reportedly agreed to a deal to join Tottenham.

New Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has given the green light to push through the move and Fryers is expected to become the latest new face at White Hart Lane.

Fryers is believed to have agreed a four-year deal at Tottenham and is expected to finalise the move in the next few days.

United will be due to receive a compensation fee for Fryers and, if they are unable to agree a deal with Spurs, the move could go to a transfer tribunal to decide the fee for the player's switch to North London.

Back in April Sky Sports reported that Tottenham were leading the chase for Fryers after he turned down a new deal at Old Trafford.

The 19-year-old's contract expired earlier this summer and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted earlier this week he was in the dark over the player's future.

Fryers, who rose up through the youth ranks at United, made six first-team appearances for the Red Devils last season, making his full debut in the Carling Cup win over Leeds.

Tottenham are said to be high on Fryers because of his versatility in being able to play left-back or centre-back making him an attractive proposition.
