Transfer news.

First of all Stephen Kelly is being offloaded to Birmingham. The option to extend his contract by a year was a good move as it means we will recieve a fee for the right back. Good luck to him from everyone at The Shelf.

And as one full back departs another arrives. Benoit Assou-Ekotto has arrived from RC Lens. Rumors that he was a signing in the Toda tradition to boost profits from names on the backs of shirts have been denied by the Spurs brass.

Comolli said:

“He’s regarded as one of the best prospects in French football and is an excellent signing for the Club.

“The player is ambitious and has always wanted to play in English football. He was consistent in his commitment to us in the negotiations we had with Lens despite a lot of interest from other clubs and Lens being reluctant to let him go.”

Sounds good.

COYS!
