TOTTENHAM: South Korean international defender Lee Young Pyo
will leave PSV Eindhoven and sign for Spurs, according to the Dutch
club's coach Guus Hiddink.
'Lee is going to leave us for Tottenham,' said Hiddink. 'There are
clauses in his contract which force us to let him leave when
another club put a set amount on the table.
'We can't battle against a Premier League club, it's a pity. Lee
came to Eindhoven as an average player; he leaves as one of the
best left-backs in the Dutch league.'
Lee will become the second South Korean player to leave PSV after
Park Ji Sung joined Manchester United in the summer.
Meanwhile, Hamburg are in talks with Spurs over a loan deal for
Swiss international defender Reto Ziegler.
The 19-year-old Ziegler, regarded as one of the biggest talents in
Swiss football, has seen his chances at Tottenham limited and
Hamburg want to take the teenager on loan until the end of the
season.
