Kion Etete has departed Tottenham and signed a permanent deal with Championship side Cardiff City. Completing a medical with the Bluebirds on Wednesday morning, the striker has penned a three-year deal in the Welsh capital.
Attracting the interest of a number of clubs after an impressive 2021/22 campaign, Cardiff have won the race for his signature in a deal worth £500,000 plus add-ons. With fellow strikers Troy Parrott and Dane Scarlett signing new deals recently, Etete's future at Spurs looked to have been blocked and he has opted to bring an end to his three years in north London and sign for Steve Morison's side.
Joining the Lilywhites from Notts County in the summer of 2019, the frontman was a regular in Spurs' Under-18s in his first season at the club before scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 20 appearances in 2020/21 after moving up to Premier League 2. Last term saw the player head off for his first taste of senior football, initially joining Northampton Town on loan before heading to Cheltenham Town at the turn of the year.
