    Tottenham are set to sign Erik Edman after agreeing terms with the Swedish international's Dutch club Heerenveen.
    In a statement on their website, Spurs said Edman was undergoing a medical. Personal terms still had to be agreed.

    The 25-year-old defender played in all three of Sweden's group games at Euro 2004 in Portugal.

    Anybody remember/know anything about this guy? I don't recall him standing out in Euro 2004, but I only saw bits of the Swede's games, so I can't really comment.

    Report also says we have PSV Eindhoven's Brazilian striker Edson Rolando Silva Sousa and Lens forward Dagui Bakari on trial as possible cover for Robbie Keane.

    he looked a very good defender to me , and he hit in that cross for Henrik Larrson's sensationel header .

    im sure Naitkris , Muffen and Club_med(I think he's Swedish) could tell you more .

    wasnt Edman injured for the Holland game ?

    Football365 says he's left-sided. If so this hopefully means the end of the Argie butcher Tarrico, and puts an end to the succession of animals we've had at left-back. Justin Edinburgh anybody? :eek:

    iirc edman was a reasonable player. not great going forward nor defensively but not terrible either. average player.

    he is an attacking defender and a good one at that. likes to make fast runs up the wing from defence and make some good crosses into the box. both Larsson's header against Bulgaria and a previous one in qualifying both came from Edman crosses.

    pity he was ruled out for the Holland match in Euro 2004..
