The Celtic midfielder is on course to join Brighton after being linked with a move to Tottenham in the past, it has been reported. GiveMeSport.
Brighton will pay an initial £25m with add-ons to the deal making it a £30m package.
Tottenham loses with the signing of the former Postecoglou midfielder
O’Riley is a versatile midfielder and the Tottenham boss knows the player well from their time together at Celtic.
He would have been a good addition to the Spurs midfield as he can play in a number of different positions.
Spurs would hope they don’t regret missing out on O’Riley’s signing as they had a better chance of signing the player than Brighton.
