DeAndre Yedlin confident of work permit ahead of Spurs move

Tottenham signing DeAndre Yedlin is confident of receiving his UK work permit.

The Sunday Mirror says Seattle Sounders fullback Yedlin expects to receive the Latvian passport that will rubber-stamp his White Hart Lane move within the next fortnight.

The 21-year-old American qualifies for the EU documentation through his grandmother and, once it has been delivered, he will be free to join up with his new club.

Yedlin expects to arrive in north London in December after a short break at the end of the MLS season, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino hoping he will be available for selection from January.
