Premier League - Tottenham to sign £14m Palacios
Eurosport - Wed, 21 Jan 15:44:00 2009
Tottenham Hotspur have signed Wilson Palacios from Wigan Athletic for £14 million, subject to a work permit.
The 24-year-old defensive midfielder has been in sensational form for Wigan this season, and his capture is a major coup for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.
The signing will come as a relief to Tottenham, who feared that Manchester City could make a last-minute bid for Palacios, having already outbid them to sign Craig Bellamy from West Ham.
Although the Honduran went through the formalities of gain a work permit when he signed for Wigan, employment laws dictate that he must obtain a new one every time he signs a contract.
A statement on Spurs' official club website confirmed: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the transfer of Wilson Palacios from Wigan Athletic.
"Personal terms have been agreed and a medical completed, we now await the Honduran international receiving his work permit before completing his registration."
Wigan manager Steve Bruce said Tottenham would need to be "talking telephone numbers" to persuade the Latics to sell, but they have netted a £13m profit after signing him from Honduran side Olimpia a year ago.
Bruce admitted he was disappointed at Palacios's departure and said Wigan would look for a swift replacement.
"We sat down with him last week and offered him a very good new deal, and tried to convince him his interests were best served by staying here at Wigan Athletic," said Bruce.
"However, I'm a big believer in not standing in the way of players' careers, as long as the terms are right for our club and I wish him all the best. He has served the club well in short time with us and has been a credit to both himself and the club."

You have knowledge of football and are just bitter that the most sucessfull portsmouth manager of all time decided to leave to go to a bigger club despite being a few places behind you in the league. GET OVER IT, it wasnt the first and it wont be the last. You over achieved with harry and now you can watch as you slide back down to where you belong

Portsmouth should worship harry like a king, if it wasnt for him you would be in the championship...players like campbell, distan, crouch, kranjaer, muntari, johnson all would not be there if it wasnt for harry. Its not as if he left you in bad shape, FA cups winners and an established premiership team. I really cant see what portsmouth have to whine about, Spurs is harrys last big chance.
If anyone says overpriced, then i ask them to consider Downing at 18mil or whatever boro wanted...im much happier with palacios, still only 24. Great player with a bright future ahead
COME ON YOU SPURS!!! 2 good signings, make it 3 with cudicini
tony h u monkey get back on yr arm chair u no nothing about football yr a nuuuuummmmmmmpppppppttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyy
Ha ha! good price 4 Wigan! Let's hope he does not fit into Tottennumbs' team, and ends up wanting to move on again come the end of the season! And let's hope Defoe get's the apparent curse of players playing for their club for a 2nd time - and falls flat on his face!
He would have had 2 score against Pompey, but I loved the sight of Dirty Harry's face, both after David Nugent scored 4 Pompey - and showed Judas a thing or 2 - and when Darren Bent one well wide of the Pompey goal later on! ha ha!
You bin ad in the neck boys!! I saw him at Brum 3 million tops!! Bruce brought him to Brum, then bought him out of Brum when he went to Wigan!! Now he's selling him for a rediculous price, He's not a bad player but grossly overpriced ........Good Luck!!! Good business for Wigan though...
