Tottenham dispense with Gilberto

Tottenham's Brazilian defender Gilberto has left the club after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.

The 33-year-old joined from Hertha Berlin in January 2008 but failed to impress and made only 10 appearances.

Other developments at White Hart Lane saw Troy Archibald-Henville join Exeter for six months and keeper Ben Alnwick move to Norwich on a three-month loan.

England Under-21 midfielder Danny Rose has been linked with a short-term move to Championship side Sheffield United.

Spurs have agreed a deal with the Blades to loan players following the double purchase of defenders Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker from the Bramall Lane club.
