Moussa Dembele completed his move from
Fulham to Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday and said grand plans
for a bright future at White Hart Lane had sold him on the
switch.
The skilful Belgium midfielder will fill the void in the
Spurs squad left by Luka Modric's departure for Real Madrid.
"You can see over the last few years that Spurs have played
well, everybody knows it's a good team and a good club and
that's why I wanted to come here," Dembele told Tottenham's
website.
"The club has plans to do lots of good things and that's why
I want to be a part of it."
The 25-year-old will join up again with Belgium team mate
Jan Vertonghen whom he played with as a 10-year-old.
Dembele made 74 appearances for Fulham and scored seven
goals after joining the London club from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar
in 2010.
