Tottenham cleared to sign Sebastien Corchia in January as he confirms Sochaux exit
Tottenham have been cleared to sign Sebastien Corchia in the January transfer window after he confirmed his intention to leave Sochaux
Corchia, 22, has been tracked by Spurs scouts for months, and Andre Villas-Boas has been strongly linked with a £5million bid over the summer.

The offer never arrived, but Villas-Boas remains keen on the player, and has now been given the green light to sign him in the new year.

I can leave Sochaux in January the club have spoken with interested clubs, said Corchia.




I prefer to focus on the present at the moment, but leaving in January is a possibility.

Corchia is widely regarded as one of the best players in French football, having impressed for Sochaux following his move from Le Mans in 2011.

A quick, strong and committed right-back, he can also play at left-back and on the wing and would offer competition to Kyle Walker at White Hart Lane.

Sochaux are thought to want around £7million to consider doing business.
