The Belgium international was left out of the Cottagers' 1-0 League Cup defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, with a statement released afterwards on the club's official website.

The statement read: "Martin Jol confirmed post-match that the club has accepted a bid for Mousa Dembele from Tottenham Hotspur (sic).

"The player is currently undergoing a medical."

Goal.com first revealed Spurs' interest in May, with Liverpool and Arsenal also prepared to enter the race for his signature. They were followed by United, Manchester City and Chelsea in targeting the midfielder later that month.
