Parker completes Tottenham move

Scott Parker scores for West Ham against Liverpool

Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign England midfielder Scott Parker from West Ham for about £5m.

The move comes after the 30-year-old handed in a transfer request on Tuesday, stating that he wished to play in the Premier League.

Parker's switch across London is likely to trigger Wilson Palacios joining Stoke City.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said on Wednesday that Luka Modric would not be leaving the club.

Parker, who joined West Ham from Newcastle for £7m in 2007, was named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year last season despite the club finishing bottom of the Premier League.

West Ham said they "reluctantly" agreed to the deal, despite their best attempts to keep him at Upton Park.

On the Hammers website, the club said: "West Ham United would like to place on record their thanks for Scott's efforts and wish him well for the future."
