The (now former) Tottenham Hotspur defender has joined Swansea City for a reported fee of £5 million.
Swansea City announced the signing of Tottenham defender Kyle Naughton yesterday, ending the full-back’s spell on the sidelines and – he will be hoping – giving him a first-team place at the Liberty Stadium.
The 26-year-old has joined Swansea for a reported fee of £5 million after six years at White Hart Lane, a spell that also included loan moves away from north London.
And Spurs fans, it seems, are delighted to have offloaded the defender – let alone received several million pounds for him. That does not go for every Tottenham supporter, of course, with many defending him and suggesting he is a better technical footballer than Kyle Walker.
A lot of Tottenham fans, however, deemed the full-back far from good enough to play for the club.
Intriguingly, though, Swansea fans also seem pleased with the deal. Notably, Gylfi Sigurdsson – played out of position at White Hart Lane – couldn’t quite cut it at Spurs and has been a huge hit in Wales.
Naughton, according to many Swansea supporters, is also an upgrade on their current options at right-back. Could this be a win-win deal for both Tottenham and Swansea? Here’s some of the best reaction from both sets of fans on Twitter…
