Spurs make double swoop
Tottenham have signed South Korea left-back Lee Young-Pyo from PSV Eindhoven, according to a report this morning.
Lee, 28, has a clause to leave the Dutch club for £1.36m (€1.98m) and had been linked with a move to White Hart Lane.
“A deal was completed in the early hours of the morning,” said a report on Sky Sports News.
Meanwhile, Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas is expected to complete a medical at Spurs today with view to a move.
Jenas has been tipped for a move away from St James' Park this month after admitting to manager Graeme Souness that playing for the Magpies is ``like living in a goldfish bowl''.
The 22-year-old midfielder has impressed in spells since his £5m (€7.3m) move from Nottingham Forest in 2002.
A stunning goal against Manchester United in 2003 was a glimpse of what he is capable of, and he has been billed as a player to eventually emulate the performances of influential former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira.
Although he is yet to dominate games like Vieira did before a move to Juventus, Jenas has had the backing of every manager he has played under.
Bobby Robson brought the player to St James’ Park and kept faith in the youngster, while Souness did not want to let the player goal.
England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has also backed Jenas – or ‘JJ’ as his managers call him – to be a regular in the national side.
