Official: Napoli sign Chirches

  .....Vlad Chiriches has completed a move from Tottenham to Napoli.

    

This sounds a lot of a surprise to me, cos nearly a day ago the manager said he hasn't seen Chirches yet

The Romanian centre-back joined Spurs from Steuaua Bucharest in the summer of 2013, joining six others in moving to the club following the departure of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.

However, following the departures of Paulinho and Etienne Capoue, Chiriches becomes the third of those ill-fated buys to leave north London.

The 25-year-old is reported to have cost around €6 million (£4.2m), with Spurs confirming the move via their official Twitter account on Thursday.

Chiriches made just 43 appearances for Spurs in all competitions during his time at White Hart Lane, but had been pushed down the pecking order by the arrival of both Toby Alderweireld and Kevin Wimmer this summer.
