Spurs have swooped to snatch Inter Milan winger Stephane Dalmat from under the noses of Middlesbrough.
Over recent days it appeared certain that the 24-year old Frenchman would sign for Boro, but Spurs announced their surprise haul earlier today. Dalmat has been signed on a one-year loan.
Formerly of Paris St Germain and Marseille, Dalmat made 25 appearances in the Serie A last season.
