Tottenham sign Corluka from City
TOTTENHAM have signed Manchester City defender Vedran Corluka today just hours before the transfer deadline.
The Croatian has agreed a six-year deal with Juande Ramos's side for a fee of £8.5million.
The 22-year-old, who will join fellow countryman Luka Modric at Spurs, leaves City after making 41 appearances since arriving in August 2007.
He told Tottenham's official website: I am delighted to be here because I am coming to a big club with great players, great ambition and also my best friend [Luka Modric] is here so it is a very happy day for me.”
Corluka, who has been capped 24 times by Croatia, came through the ranks at Dinamo Zagreb and after a season on loan at NK Inter Zapresic, won successive titles with Dinamo in 2006 and 2007.
