Reto Ziegler has sealed a loan switch to Hamburg as Tottenham continue to wheel and deal on transfer deadline day.

Spurs coach Martin Jol has confirmed that the midfielder's long-term future is definitely with the North Londoners.
"Reto is a very big talent," Jol told the club's official website. "But we have Andy Reid and Edgar Davids in his position.
"He had a strong season for us but he now needs to play more games.
"With this being possible at another very good team, it is an excellent opportunity for Reto.
"He is a young lad and I have agreed with Reto that it will be good for him to go away and get more experience.
"But he is still a player for our future."
