Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £52m deal with Brighton for Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke.
The 26-year-old started in his country's 2-2 draw with Japan on Sunday at the World Cup.
Van Hecke has a year left on his current Brighton contract and showed no inclination to extend the deal.
Brighton had already turned down one offer for a player who joined them from NAC Breda in 2020.
However, they have now accepted Tottenham's offer, which should clear the way to Van Hecke rejoining former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi in north London.
Van Hecke made 131 appearances for the Seagulls and started 36 out of 38 Premier League games for Fabian Hurzeler's side last season as they secured an eighth-place finish. That secured European qualification for only the second time in the club's history.
Tottenham have already strengthened De Zerbi's squad in an effort to improve markedly on successive 17th-placed finishes.
Scotland defender Andy Robertson has already signed from Liverpool, with Argentinian centre-half Marcos Senesi agreeing a move from Bournemouth.
