Spurs said Friday they had completed the signing of winger Nacer Chadli from FC Twente after the player agreed personal terms and passed a medical.
.
The Belgium international, 23, has been in Hong Kong training with his new team-mates but will not play against local side South China on Saturday in the Barclays Asia Trophy.
.
He is expected to be available for the first time when Tottenham travel to Monaco for a pre-season fixture on August 3.
.
Chadli, who has 14 caps for his country, cost a reported seven million pounds ($11 million, eight million euros) from the Dutch side and becomes Spurs' second major signing of the summer after the capture of Brazilian international Paulinho.
.
Speaking on Monday, Spurs manager Andre Villas- Boas said: "Chadli's a player we've been following for quite some time and we managed to strike a deal in the last few days.
.
"He's a player who is extremely versatile and can play in several positions up front. He played with tremendous success on the left for Twente as a winger and as an attacker for Belgium. We look forward to having him on board with us."
.
Villas-Boas told Tottenham's official website on Friday that the Brazilian midfielder Sandro was back in training after the serious knee injury that he suffered in January.
Tottenham Hotspur is definately a kind of football club that love to buy players that would always make the difference. Dope one.
