Cudicini makes Tottenham switch

Cudicini initially joined Chelsea on loan from Castel di Sangro in 1999

Tottenham have completed the signing of goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini on a free transfer from Chelsea.

The 35-year-old joined the Blues on loan in 1999 from Italian side Castel Di Sangro and signed a permanent deal a year later, costing the club £130,000.

Voted Chelsea Player of the Year in 2002, he has found his chances limited since Petr Cech's arrival in 2004.

Cudicini will provide competition for Heurelho Gomes who has been the subject of much criticism this season.

Tottenham paid PSV Eindhoven £7m for the Brazilian in the summer and he struggled with his form initially before a string of improved displays.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has been looking for a goalkeeper ever since reserve team stopper Cesar Sanchez was released earlier this month.
