In one of the surprise moves of the January 2009 Transfer Window, Tottenham head coach Harry Redknapp has made the 1 Million Pound move for Chelsea back up keeper Carlo Cudicini.

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.
