    Spurs seal Carrick transfer


    Tottenham have bolstered their midfield ranks by securing the signature of West Ham's Michael Carrick. The 23-year-old, who has twice been capped by England, has agreed a four-year deal which will be signed after a medical at White Hart Lane.

    Spurs sporting director Frank Arnesen said: "Michael is a big English talent and we're very pleased to sign him.

    "Technically he is very good, a great passer who can go left or right and we have quality competition for places."

    The Hammers were aware that Carrick could have left the club on a free transfer next summer, but insisted he would have been offered a new deal had he chosen not to join Spurs.

    A host of clubs were interested in Carrick, who played more than 150 matches for West Ham, including Everton, West Brom and Portsmouth, who had agreed a deal with the Hammers before the midfielder had second thoughts.

    That was because Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were keen on the Newcastle-born player as a replacement for Patrick Vieira, before the France captain agreed to stay at Highbury.

    Carrick will instead now link up with former team-mates Freddie Kanoute and Jermain Defoe at White Hart Lane.
