Spurs talent Dennis Cirkin is reportedly on the verge of joining Sunderland.

According to The Sunderland Echo, the Tottenham left-back had a medical on Wearside on Tuesday.

Cirkin’s transfer is expected to be announced on Wednesday, added the outlet.

Last week, football.london’s Alasdair Gold claimed that the 19-year-old turned down a new Spurs deal and looked set to leave N17.

Cirkin started for Tottenham’s Under-23s in last Saturday’s friendly at Barnet, a 1-1 draw.

Judging by the reports, it looks as though it could’ve been his last game in a Lilywhites shirt.

Cirkin, who penned his first professional contract in 2019, is said to have a lot of fans at Spurs.

Former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho rated Cirkin highly as well, deeming him a “kid with a lot of quality”.

Mourinho also said: “I like Dennis very, very much, he works really hard.”

The defender was on the bench for two Europa League games – against Royal Antwerp and Ludogorets – last season.

Sunderland, who are currently light at left-back, have won both of their games so far this season.

The Black Cats beat Wigan 2-1 in their League One opener on Saturday.

They then overcame Port Vale by the same scoreline in the League Cup first round on Tuesday.
