David Bentley has signed the most lucrative deal in Tottenham's history, joining on a six-year contract.

The winger will have cost Spurs £32million in transfer fees and wages by 2014 if he fulfills his potential with them.

The club confirmed to the Stock Exchange this morning they have paid Blackburn £15m with a further £2m depending on appearances. It is also believed Bentley, 23, will earn £50,000-a-week.

The former Arsenal midfielder will be unveiled today as Juande Ramos's latest signing and could make his debut at the Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament in Rotterdam this weekend.

The winger made just nine appearances under Arsene Wenger but will join Sol Campbell as the only high-profile players to feature for Arsenal and Spurs in the modern era.

It looks set to be a productive few days for Spurs after Andrei Arshavin's representative, Dennis Lachter, claimed a deal should be concluded for the Russian playmaker "in the next five days".

According to Lachter, personal terms have been agreed and a deal could be struck by the weekend if the two clubs can agree a fee.

He told Sky Sports News: "I am very optimistic about this deal but it is not easy - as usual with Russian clubs.

"The next few days will see if he can confirm this move to Spurs.

"Andrei likes the way Juande Ramos is going to play at Tottenham and this is the main point of our decision - not only the money but the desire of the manager to have the player."

Of his hopes for when the deal might be completed, Lachter added: "I hope in the next five days, maximum."

Arshavin, who caught the eye at Euro 2008, told Sport Express in Russia: "I have already taken a final decision. It only remains to finalise it with the club management."

Bentley is the latest of the radical changes at Spurs this summer, with Heurelho Gomes replacing Paul Robinson as first-choice goalkeeper.

Luka Modric will be the focal point of the midfield after arriving from Dinamo Zagreb, while Giovani dos Santos has been bought from Barcelona and can play alongside the Croatia international or as a support striker.

Dos Santos will take the number 17 which was occupied last season by Kevin-Prince Boateng, who has struggled to make an impact since arriving from Hertha Berlin.

Pascal Chimbonda, Teemu Tainio, Steed Malbranque, Younes Kaboul and Anthony Gardner have all been allowed to leave, and Spurs will listen to offers for Paul Stalteri, Young-Pyo Lee, Ricardo Rocha and Hossam Ghaly.

Meanwhile, midfielder Jermaine Jenas and centre-back Michael Dawson have signed one-year contract extensions, keeping them at White Hart Lane until 2013.
