Is was thought that the Chelsea winger was bound for Paris St Germain after snubbing Boro earlier this week, but obviously work continued behind the scenes.
Zenden has signed on loan for the rest of the season and will make the competition for places in the midfield even more intense.
The belief was that Boro were set to unveil Dalmat after his club Inter Milan issued a statement to say that the two clubs had agreed a deal. In fact Dalmat signed for Spurs this morning.
It just goes to show you can't believe anything you read, even on this site!!!
