EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea keeper Cudicini moves across town to Spurs in £1million deal
Carlo Cudicini: Heading to Tottenham after nearly 10 years at Chelsea.
Tottenham have clinched the signing of Chelsea’s Carlo Cudicini for around £1 million. Manager Harry Redknapp moved for the 35-year-old Italian after growing concerned about his goalkeepers.
First-choice Heurelho Gomes has been playing through injury and Cesar Sanchez, who is deemed sub-standard, has been allowed to join Valencia until the end of the season.
Gomes has adapted to the Premier League after an initially disastrous switch from PSV last summer, but Cudicini will provide stiff competition for the Brazilian after finally stepping out of the shadows at Stamford Bridge.
Cudicini, whose Chelsea contract ends in the summer, moved to the club 10 years ago but he has been second choice to Petr Cech since the Czech arrived in 2004.
He has only made 25 League starts in the last five seasons and has been frustrated at his place in the Chelsea pecking order.

Luiz Felipe Scolari would block Tottenham move for Carlo Cudicini
Having completed the signing of Wigan’s Wilson Palacios, Tottenham will be rebuffed by Chelsea in any attempt to make Carlo Cudicini their third major addition of the January transfer window.
Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari will not allow the Italian to leave.
Cudicini, 35, moved to Chelsea on loan from Castel Di Sangro in 1999 and signed a permanent contract in 2000. In that time he has made 215 appearances, with just 25 league appearances in the past five seasons following the emergence of Petr Cech as the first choice goalkeeper under Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant and now Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Hilario, right. Cudicini should go, he's not needed there at Chelsea. Cech, if fit, starts virtually every match
