English Premiership team Tottenham Hotspur FC have confirmed the acquisition of Czech international goalkeeper Radek Cerny from SK Slavia Praha. The 30-year-old, who has three caps for his country, has agreed an 18-month contract with the Londoners.

Scottish Premier League outfit Dunfermline AFC have signed F.Y.R. Macedonia front-man Georgi Hristov until the end of the season after the player secured a work permit. Hristov's application had been refused because he had not played the required number of internationals due to injury problems, but the former NEC Nijmegen and Barnsley FC player has now been cleared to join the Fife club. "Obviously we're delighted to have secured the work permit," manager Davie Hay told uefa.com. "He is a good lad and his English is good as well, so he should be able to fit in straight away."

Still in Scotland, Jim Hamilton has moved to Motherwell FC on a free transfer from Livingston FC. The 28-year-old forward has penned a two-and-a-half year contract with the Fir Park club. Elsewhere, Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Nick Colgan has joined Dundee United FC on loan from Barnsley until the season's end.

SuperLiga side Moreirense FC have moved for Olympique de Marseille's Portuguese international Delfim, who will return to his homeland on loan for the remainder of the current campaign.
