Stoke have reportedly secured the signature of Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios for a fee between £7m and £9m.
Palacios, who cost Spurs £14m from Wigan, fell out of favour last season after initially being an integral part of the Tottenham side.
The Honduran defensive midfielder was a fans favourite at White Hart Lane, due to his combative style, and will no doubt be loved by the Potters supporters should he show the same commitment and attitude in a red and white shirt.
Palacios' move will see the tigerish midfield ace join Matthew Upson and Jonathan Woodgate as the clubs summer signings as the search for new players steps up a gear with Wednesday's deadline getting ever nearer.
Palacios Spurs team mate Peter Crouch is also reported to be closing on a move, for a fee between £11m and £13m, according to the same article.
