Bayer Leverkusen's South Korean midfielder Son Heung-Min is on the verge of joining Tottenham, German media reported.

The 23-year-old, under contract with Leverkusen until 2018, is due in London to take a medical ahead of a deal worth an estimated 30 million euros, German dailies Kolner Stadt-Anzeiger and Sport Bild reported.

Contacted by German news agency SID, a subsidiary of AFP, Leverkusen refused to comment on the news which broke hours before their Champions League playoff second leg against Lazio.

The transfer window closes on Monday in Germany and 24 hours later in England.
