Tom Huddlestone believes Tottenham will regret allowing Michael Dawson to leave for Hull City.
Dawson became the third player to swap White Hart Lane for the KC Stadium this week when he joined in a £3.5 million deal.
That trio - Dawson, Huddlestone and Jake Livermore - have all been capped by England and cost the Tigers a combined £15m.
Huddlestone said: "I was surprised Spurs let him go to be honest, because even last season he played near enough every game for them. It was a bit of a surprise because he's only 30 so hopefully we can get three or four good years from him.
"Spurs' loss is our gain. They've obviously got a new manager [Mauricio Pochettino] who is trying to do things his own way and wants his own players which is fair enough, but hopefully we can benefit from that with the signing of Daws."
