Valuable addition
"Andy Reid is a well-known Irish international," Tottenham sporting director Frank Arnesen said on the Premiership club's website. "He's a very good player, the type we don't have in the squad. He can play as a left winger, down the right side or just behind the striker.
'Great prospect'
"Michael Dawson is a great prospect, has captained England's U21s and outside his obvious playing talents has a leadership quality in his personality," Arnesen continued. "Once again these are young players who will not only add to our squad now but will take us forward in the next couple of years."
