Britney Spears' manager has rubbished reports that the star won't be performing in Las Vegas.

Larry Rudolph told Extra that the Sin City residency is set, with the Toxic singer's team choosing between two casinos.

He was quoted as saying: "We are in deep negotiations and I'd be shocked if it didn't happen. Hoping to have a deal done very soon."

The pop star and former X Factor USA judge has been in negotiations for several months to perform in Las Vegas.

But it was recently reported that the residency was not going to happen.

Extra said that a formal announcement was expected in the next few weeks.

The mum-of-two, who recently split from fiance Jason Trawick, was previously reported to have signed a 100 million dollar contract to perform regularly at the Caesar's Palace Colosseum venue.
