The 24-year-old was on loan at the Liberty Stadium in 2011-12 from German club Hoffenheim.

He scored seven goals in 18 appearances as Swansea won promotion to the top flight from the Championship.

Sweet fact-checking BBC

Is it just me or can I not see what's incorrect about that statement?

He played for Swansea in the Premier League, not in the season they got promotion

The more I think about this signing the more it grows on me. I'm actually fairly excited - I love signing young players.

Ha - I have to edit this! A really poor choice of words. (P.s. I'm not Wenger, I promise).

Ben Davies deal all wrapped up, so I hear. A great signing for #Tottenham. Not far behind Shaw only without the hype and expectation. #thfc

Who is this Lyall Thomas bloke?
I see he's a journo, but he appears to have arrived from nowhere with his Spurs 'knowledge'
Any reliable background/history?

I need to know whether to add him to Alan Nixon of the Mirror as a 'journo who seems to know stuff' !

For anyone wondering, Ben Davies would count as a home grown player yes. Rule is club affiliated with English or Welsh FAs. #THFC #Tottenham

If those two really are sorted and we've actively working on closing Schneiderlin, I'd prefer if we just sat back and let Pochettino wrap up the USA tour before pushing for any more transfers. 3 that have strengthened the team where we needed it, let's just allow the manager to evaluate his squad before making any rash decisions on transfers. A good deal isn't so good when you don't actually need the player and don't have a place in the squad to fit him.
