Clint deal makes Spurs’ day

Dimitar Berbatov may have chosen Craven Cottage over White Hart Lane yesterday, but he was seemingly on his own in preferring West london to north.

The Manchester United striker joined Fulham on a two-year deal yesterday despite a late offer from Tottenham to return to the club he left for United in 2008.

The 31-year-old striker has moved to Fulham for an undisclosed fee, and will be reunited with Martin Jol, who managed Spurs during the Bulgarian’s successful spell there.
