Ifil has only made one Premier League appearance since 2004
|
Southampton have signed Tottenham full-back Phil Ifil on loan.
The 20-year-old has joined Saints for an initial three-month spell, and has signed in time to join the squad for Saturday's game at Sheffield United.
Ifil has made just five first-team appearances for Spurs, but had two loan spells at Millwall during 2005/06.
"He will add to our defensive options - that is an area where we need to be stronger," Southampton boss George Burley told his club's website.
"It is a good chance to bring in a promising Premiership player and to assess him."

606: DEBATE

Ifil was handed his Premier League debut by former Tottenham boss Jacques Santini against Liverpool on the opening day of the 2004/05 season.
But after playing against Newcastle the following week, he had to wait until April this year for his next league game for Spurs.
