A Championship team has made a move for a Tottenham defender.

One of Leeds United's Championship rivals have signed a former England under-21s international defender from Tottenham Hotspur.

Twenty-four-year old defender Japhet Tanganga joined Bundesliga side Augsburg on a season-long loan in September but returned to Tottenham having not featured once for the side for whom he had just one outing on the bench.

Tanganga, though, who joined Augsburg as he recovered from a knee injury, has now headed out for a second loan spell at Championship side Millwall until the end of the campaign.

Tanaganga has made 50 appearances for Tottenham and has been capped at England youth teams at up to under-21s level. He is primarily a centre-back but can also operate as a right back.
