CaulkerThe England defender signed on Wednesday afternoon for a fee thought to be £8m.

It's an incredible capture by Malky Mackay of a defender who made his England debut last season (and scored as well) and who played a big part in Tottenham's season.

"First and foremost I want to say how happy I am to have signed with Cardiff City Football Club" said Caulker. I'm delighted to be here and excited for this fresh challenge.

"I spoke to the gaffer yesterday (Tuesday), liked what he had to say and am excited about the plans he has for the football club.

"You get the sense of excitement from everybody at the club in the build-up to the season's kick-off at West Ham and I'm really looking forward to being part of it."

Caulker becomes new signing No. 4 after Andreas Cornelius, John Brayford and Simon Moore.
