It's understood there is also a buy-back clause in the deal should Spurs wish to take him back later down the line.

The move represents a significant breakthrough for boss Steve Morison, who's been keen on adding to his firepower for most of the summer following the departure of James Collins, while loanees Jordan Hugill and Uche Ikpeazu both returned to their parent clubs.
