Tottenham have completed the signing of Swansea centre-back Joe Rodon for an initial fee of £11million, rising to £15m.

The Wales star has penned a five-year contract in north London and completes an impressive summer window of additions for Jose Mourinho’s men.

Spurs brought back club legend Gareth Bale and also added Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matt Doherty, Joe Hart, Sergio Reguilon and Carlos Vinicius, before the late arrival of Rodon.

The 22-year-old will now compete with Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld and Japhet Tanganga for a starting spot. He will wear the number 14 shirt.

Swansea, meanwhile, landed Rodon’s replacement earlier on deadline day when they brought in Wolves defender Ryan Bennett on loan.

Jose Mourinho has rated Gareth Bale’s chances of making a second debut for the club against West Ham on Sunday.

The Wales international has spent the last two weeks training at Hotspur Way after a knee injury delayed his return to the Spurs side following his loan move from Real Madrid.
