Cardiff are set to beat Arsenal and Tottenham to the signing of Toulouse star Etienne Capoue after agreeing an £8million fee for his services.

North London duo Arsenal and Spurs are both long-term admirers of Capoue, with both making bids during the January transfer window.

Toulouse turned them down and insisted he will be staying for years to come, but Cardiff have now convinced them to sell.

According to reports in France, the Premier League new boys have struck an £8million deal with Toulouse for his signature, and expect to finalise his arrival in the next few days.

Arsenal and Tottenham are known to still have an interest in the France international, but are unlikely to make a late attempt to hijack the move.

Cardiff will reportedly offer Capoue a four-year-deal with wages of around £65,000-a-week, that would include a buyout clause if the they suffered relegation next season.

The Bluebirds have been chasing a tough-tackling defensive midfielder for most of the summer, but have seen bids for Victor Wanyama and Gilbert Imbula fail.
