Tottenham Hotspur have bolstered their defence with the signing of Sebastien Bassong from Newcastle.
The two clubs agreed a fee believed to be upwards of £8million, with the player penning a long-term contract at White Hart Lane.
The 23-year-old is suspended for the first two games of the new season following his sending-off against Fulham at the end of last term.
A statement on www.tottenhamhotspur.com tonight read: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Newcastle United for the transfer of Sebastien Bassong to the club, following the player successfully completing a medical examination and agreeing personal terms."
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp had been keen to bring in reinforcements at the back, with Michael Dawson set to miss the start of the new season through injury and Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate also doubtful.
"Jonathan Woodgate is struggling and I think he may have to have an operation," Redknapp said earlier this week.
"I think he may have to have another hernia operation. He had one at the end of last season but obviously it has not worked so he may have to go back in again.
