EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea keeper Cudicini moves across town to Spurs in £1million deal

Tottenham have clinched the signing of Chelsea’s Carlo Cudicini for around

£1 million.

Manager Harry Redknapp moved for the 35-year-old Italian after growing concerned about his goalkeepers.

First-choice Heurelho Gomes has been playing through injury and Cesar Sanchez, who is deemed sub-standard, has been allowed to join Valencia until the end of the season.

Gomes has adapted to the Premier League after an initially disastrous switch from PSV last summer, but Cudicini will provide stiff competition for the Brazilian after finally stepping out of the shadows at Stamford Bridge.

Cudicini, whose Chelsea contract ends in the summer, moved to the club 10 years ago but he has been second choice to Petr Cech since the Czech arrived in 2004.

He has only made 25 League starts in the last five seasons and has been frustrated at his place in the Chelsea pecking order.

Well maybe Cudicini will have a little twilight to his career. I hope we stick with what we have, to give the reserve keepers a chance to develop.

Absolutely, nothing wrong with having a young player as your 3rd choice keeper. I believe Nic Heimann has been training with the first team as well recently.

Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is set to sign for Tottenham today.

The Italian is due for talks at Spurs to discuss a switch from Stamford Bridge. The long-serving keeper, 35, is in the last six months of a lucrative Chelsea contract, with the Blues ready to reward his loyalty by granting him a free transfer to their London rivals.

Cudicini, 35, joined Chelsea in 1999 from Italian village side Castel Di Sangro and soon established himself as one of the top keepers in the Premier League. But when the Blues signed Petr Cech in 2004 he lost his first-team place.

Henrique Hilario, 33, will now become Cech’s understudy. Redknapp has been looking for cover for Heurelho Gomes after a nightmare start to his Premier League career.

Cudicini? Cover for Gomes? How insulting. Cover for the best goalkeeper in the world, but second choice to Superman? Fucking hell...

Surely Carlo would be first choice - Gomes is shit! Carlo is better than the Robbo's and Carson's as well!
