Tottenham Hotspur have raided Swansea City to sign goalkeeper Michel Vorm and left-back Ben Davies.

Spurs have not disclosed the fee paid for the pair, however they beat off interest from Liverpool for Wales international Davies, who was wanted by former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers at Anfield.

 



As part of the deal, Spurs midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has moved to Swansea, signing a four-year contract with the Welsh club.

Davies impressed in the Premier League for Swansea last season and quickly established a name for himself as a promising full-back.

 


Vorm's future at the Liberty Stadium came into question earlier this summer, when Swansea signed Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal.

The goalkeeper was part of Louis van Gaal's Netherlands squad at the World Cup, helping the Oranje to finish third.

Sigurdsson spent the latter half of the 2011/12 campaign on loan at Swansea from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, but the Welsh side were beaten to his signature by Spurs in 2012.

The Iceland international made 58 appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham during his two years at White Hart Lane.
