Spurs complete Lee swoop

Spurs have completed the capture of South Korean full-back Lee Young-pyo.

The PSV Eindhoven star has joined Jermaine Jenas in moving to White Hart Lane after ending his three-year association with the Dutch outfit, and is a ready made replacement for Erik Edman who moved to Rennes on Wednesday.

After finalising work permit details the 28-year-old has now completed a move worth in the region of £2 million to join former PSV compatriot, and new Manchester United man, Park Ji-sung in The Premiership.

It is believed that the international star, who becomes only the second South Korean to move to England's top division, has signed a four-year deal with the North London side and Spurs coach Martin Jol was delighted to welcome the star who attracted strong interest from Serie A.

"He has played at PSV for three years and was in the South Korea side which reached the semi-finals of the World Cup," Jol told the club's official website.

"He has played in the Champions League - reaching the semi-finals last season - and is the best left back in Holland.

"A number of Italian clubs would have liked to have taken him and we are happy to have got him to our club.

"He is an attacking full back and is a big star in Korea having achieved so much success in Europe.

"I am very happy he is coming to Spurs and very proud of it. Like Edgar Davids he has made the decision to come to Spurs and it is a big thing for the club."

Whilst Jol is busy augmenting his squad the Dutch coach has been hit with the news that Egyptian striker Mido has been charged with improper conduct.

The charge relates to Mido's reaction to his sending off against Chelsea, and his refusal to leave the pitch after being shown the red card for an aerial challenge on Asier Del Horno.

The on-loan Roma star has until 6pm on September 1 to respond, whilst the case will be heard by a disciplinary commission on September 9.
