Tottenham has completed the signing of South Africa defender Bongani Khumalo from SuperSport United.
Spurs announced in October that they planned to sign the 23-year-old central defender after he played in all three of South Africa's matches at this year's World Cup and impressed in a trial with the English Premier League club.
Tottenham will reportedly pay a transfer fee of 1.5 million pounds ($2.4 million).
Khumalo could make his debut in Sunday's FA Cup match against Charlton and says he is ''looking to learn as fast as I can and do all I can to contribute to this wonderful team.''
