Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips on a five-year deal, according to BBC News, making him Boro's eighth addition of the summer window.
Phillips, who spent last season on loan at Stoke City, arrives at the Riverside as part of a busy rebuilding effort under the club's recruitment plans. The move ties him to Middlesbrough for the long term, giving the Championship side a young centre-back with Premier League pedigree from his time in Spurs' academy setup.
While full transfer details haven't been disclosed, the deal underlines Boro's continued activity in the market this summer as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new campaign.
