Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has made his fourth signing of the January transfer window after acquiring Pascal Chimbonda from Sunderland, according to Sky Sports.
It will be the second time that Chimbonda will be unveiled as a Spurs player, as he was initially brought to White Hart Lane in 2006, only to leave for Sunderland last summer.
He has re-joined the lilywhites after only six months at the Black Cats for an undisclosed fee, expected to be in the region of £3 million.
Chimbonda is the fourth right back that Tottenham have signed in the past 12 months.
Alan Hutton (£8 million), Chris Gunter (£4 million), and Vedran Corluka (£8 million) have all failed to make the full back berth their own. With the purchase of Chimbonda, Tottenham will have spent over £23 million on right backs alone in the last year.
The 29-year old has received one international cap, and signs for Spurs on the same day that Redknapp has secured the free transfer of Italian goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
The club are yet to comment on the Chimbonda swoop, but regarding the Cudicini transfer, a statement on tottenhamhotspur.com said: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Carlo Cudicini to the Club."
