Soccer: Sergei Rebrov on his way to White Hart Lane

Dynamo Kiev striker Sergei Rebrov has revealed his multi-million pound move to Tottenham should be signed and sealed within the next two weeks. Rebrov has already held talks over what would be a club record-breaking deal for Spurs and is confident of completing the transfer by the end of the Premier League season. In an astonishing twist, the Ukrainian international has admitted George Graham has beaten bitter rival Arsene Wenger to his signature due to Arsenal's transfer policy.

Rebrov is understood to have agreed a £25,000-per-week contract with Spurs, with only a small matter of the fee to be finalised between the clubs.

The 26-year-old has become one of the hottest properties in Europe having scored 100 League goals for Kiev, along with a further 24 in UEFA competitions. Inter Milan were believed to be favourites to sign Rebrov as a replacement for injury-plagued Brazilian ace Ronaldo, which would have seen him at the San Siro along with fellow Ukraine star Andrei Shevchenko, who joined AC Milan from Kiev last summer for £18million.

Kiev are apparently wanting around £11million for Rebrov, which would smash the north London club's previous record of £6million they paid Newcastle for Les Ferdinand in 1997.
