Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas must make room in his squad to add free agent Ciprian Marica.
The People says Marica is set to snub Arsenal and West Ham United advances to join Villas-Boas's new-look Tottenham side.
Villas-Boas wants to move flop Emmanuel Adebayor and young Harry Kane out of north London, freeing up a slot for Marica.
If the deal cannot be done, Villas-Boas will be under pressure from Daniel Levy to bring £100,000-a-week outcast Adebayor in from the cold.
The £9.3m striker has been banished to training with the kids at White Hart Lane.
