Tottenham have completed the signing of Kevin-Prince Boateng from Hertha Berlin.
The Germany Under 21 international is regarded as one of the best young midfielders in Europe.
Tottenham have been chasing the 20-year-old for some time and they beat off interest from a host of clubs to land Boateng.
Boateng is excited at the prospect of playing in the Premier League with Tottenham.
"For me it is amazing to be in England," Boateng told the club's
official website. "To be in London and playing for Spurs will be great
for me. "It has been my ambition to play in England, I am 20 now and am about to quickly realise my dream.
"I know that Spurs are a team who like to play offensive
football. The club want to climb higher next season and I want to be a
part of it. "I watched the Premier League regularly in Germany, it is the most famous league in the world and I have always enjoyed it."
Spurs boss Martin Jol hailed the signing of Boateng and he believes he will be a valuable addition to the squad.
"Kevin is a talented player who plays for the Under 21 side of
his country," said Jol. "You could compare him with the likes of Aaron
Lennon and Tom Huddlestone in that he is an exciting player for now and
the future. "He is an attacking midfield player, very strong and that is one of his main assets.
"In Germany he is regarded as one of the biggest talents, we recognised this and went in for him."
A very very talented player with a $h!t attitude , hope he succeeds though.
