Spurs sign Blades duo

22 July 2009 15:06
Tottenham have confirmed the signings of Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker from Sheffield United. Everton were also in the running to sign Naughton but the defender has opted for the lure of White Hart Lane. Skysports.com revealed last week that Spurs were likely to win the race to sign the England Under-21 international and that has proved to be the case. Naughton broke into the Blades' side at the beginning of last season and never looked back, playing 40 league games in total. Meanwhile, Walker forced himself into Kevin Blackwell's side towards the end of last term after a spell on loan at League One side Northampton. Spurs will loan the 19-year-old defender back to the Bramall Lane club while Naughton will be looking to push Vedran Corluka and Alan Hutton for a starting berth at right-back.
