SOCCER: Tottenham have signed Wilson Palacios from Wigan subject to the player getting a work permit.

The move, believed to be worth around £14million, was confirmed on Spurs' official website.

The 24-year-old had been a big hit at the JJB Stadium after signing for the Latics 12 months ago following a loan spell at manager Steve Bruce's former club Birmingham.

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."
