Tottenham defender Edman joins Rennes
Rennes claim they have signed Sweden left-back Erik Edman from Tottenham on
a three-year contract.
The 26-year-old Edman, who only spent one season at White Hart Lane having
joined the club from Heerenveen last July, links up with fellow Swedes
Andreas Isaksson and Kim Kallstrom at Rennes.
'I hope the switch will suit me and make me to a better player in a good
league,' Edman said.
A statement on the Ligue 1 club's website read: 'Several hours before the
end of the official transfer period, Swede Erik Edman has signed a
three-year contract with Stade Rennais.'
Spurs 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 £1.36million 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 £5million 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.
Sir 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.
JJ黎都冇咁谷氣...艾文都放都唔知咩理由 |
