CONFIRMED: Spurs continue to strengthen after announcing Vlad Chiriches signing
SPURS' summer spending shows no signs of slowing down after completing a deal for Steaua Bucharest defender Vlad Chiriches.
The centre back is believed to have joined the north London for a fee of around £8.5m.
Chiriches becomes Spurs' fifth acquisition of a busy summer in which they are expected to also complete deals for Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen before Monday's deadline. It takes their spending this summer to £67m.
Spurs posted the news on their Twitter feed: "We're delighted to announce we have reached agreement with FC Steaua Bucharest for the transfer of Vlad Chiriches."
They had been left short on numbers at the back following the departures of William Gallas and Steven Caulker but have now resolved this by signing the 23-year-old.
Speaking about his move, Chiriches said: "For me, this is something incredible. A dream come true."
Chiriches played 62 times for Steaua and has earned 19 international caps.
