Tottenham Hotspur announce the signings of Swansea City pair Ben Davies and Michel Vorm, while Gylfi Sigurdsson heads the other way.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signings of Swansea City duo Ben Davies and Michel Vorm in a deal that sees Gylfi Sigurdsson head the other way.

Left-back Davies joins Spurs for a reported fee of around £10m after signing a five-year deal at White Hart Lane, while goalkeeper Vorm has inked a four-year contract.

"I had never thought or wanted to leave Swansea, but an opportunity like this doesn't come up often in your career," Davies told the Swans' official website.

"I will always be grateful for what Swansea City has done for me and it will always be the club in my heart.

"Having been at the club since the age of eight, I had to think long and hard about leaving because I owe everything to the staff and the club in general."

Meanwhile, Sigurdsson returns to the club that he spent a loan spell at in 2012, and the Iceland international expressed his delight at the move.

He told the club's official website: "It's fantastic for me. I really enjoyed the last time I was here, so it's good to be back."

The two teams meet in the Premier League on December 13 at the Liberty Stadium.
