Leverkusen snaps up Corluka on loan
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bayer Leverkusen landed Vedran Corluka from Tottenham on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to sign the defender to a longer contract, it was announced Tuesday.
Corluka has only managed three appearances with Tottenham this season as Spurs have preferred up-and-coming right back Kyle Walker.
Leverkusen chief executive Wolfgang Holzhaeuser sees Corluka making immediate contributions at the BayArena.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"With this signing, we've got a high-level option," Holzhaeuser said of the Croatian. "Corluka is a respected professional who will give us an immediate impact in class."
Corluka, 25, had originally joined Tottenham from Manchester City in 2008 for approximately $13.4 million.
