Late flurry on deadline day


The January transfer window has slammed shut after a late flurry of permanent and loan deals.

Tottenham secured the biggest capture of the day by signing West Ham striker Jermain Defoe for £7m with Bobby Zamora going in the opposite direction.

Elsewhere, Newcastle signed striker Michael Bridges of Leeds, who took Stephen Caldwell from St James' Park until the end of the season.

North-east rivals Middlesbrough snapped up Brazil international Ricardinho.

Leeds managed to hold onto goalkeeper Paul Robinson, whose proposed move to Spurs collapsed.

And there was further good news for the beleaguered Yorkshire club after Middlesbrough failed to tie up a deal for Mark Viduka.

Portsmouth entered the transfer market with a late double swoop for Newcastle's Lomana Tresor LuaLua, who joins the club on loan, and Leicester defender John Curtis.

The Foxes opted to sharpen their attack as they attempt to avoid relegation by buying Derby striker Lee Morris for a nominal fee.

Birmingham signed Martin Taylor of Blackburn, who concluded a deal for Huddersfield striker Jonathan Stead.

Sam Allardyce has bolstered Bolton's defence by completing the loan signing of Liverpool right-back Jon Otsemobor until the end of the season.

And Charlton have bagged talented young midfielder Jerome Thomas from Arsenal in a deal worth £100,000.

However, the transfer window's big business had already been concluded before Monday when Manchester United lured French striker Louis Saha from Fulham for £12.8m.

And United's title rivals also took the plunge, Chelsea bagging Scott Parker from Charlton for £10m and Arsenal paying Sevilla an initial £7m for Jose Antonio Reyes, though the fee could rise to £17m.
