Fulham have agreed a fee believed to be around £10.6 million with FC Twente for winger Bryan Ruiz.
The Costa Rica international was being courted by Harry Redknapp earlier in the summer but the interest from Spurs has cooled and it appears Fulham are now in pole position to sign the 26-year-old.
With the transfer window closing at 11pm it will be a race against time for the Cottagers to complete their move.
