Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle had been hoping to add the D.C United left-sided player to his squad and after a fee of £1.5 million was agreed between the two sides the club were just awaiting international clearance.

This unfortunately has been declined and the deal is off!

"It's a massive disappointment because we worked very hard and put forward a good case," Hoddle told the clubs official website.

"The lad would have been good for Tottenham and this will be as big a blow to him as it is to us, but we will be staying in touch."
