Sebastien Bassong has completed his move from Tottenham to Norwich, signing a three-year deal with the Canaries for an undisclosed fee.

The defender announced he had made the switch via his Twitter page shortly before Norwich confirmed the transfer on the club's official website.

"Sebastien is a player that I have known well since my time at Newcastle and I'm delighted to have brought in someone with the Premier League experience he has got," said Canaries manager Chris Hughton.

"He will give us power and pace at the back and again add to the competition in the squad."

Bassong joined Spurs from Newcastle in the summer of 2009 after an impressive debut season in the Premier League with the Magpies, and made 45 league appearances in his time at White Hart Lane. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Wolves.

The 26-year-old becomes Hughton's fourth signing of the summer, after Robert Snodgrass, Steven Whittaker and Michael Turner were brought in earlier this summer.
