Taarabt confirms Spurs move
Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of teenage midfielder Adel Taarabt from French club Racing Lens.
Spurs have been tracking the 17-year-old for the last four weeks and finally concluded a deal this week, which is worth in the region of 3.5 million euros.
"I can confirm that everything is tied up," Taarabt told Lens' official website. "I was in London on Monday and Tuesday to undergo a medical. Everything went well and I took the chance to put pen to paper.
"I have signed with the London club for a period of five years. To be more precise, it is a three-year contract, with an option for two more years.
Taarabt has played just two minutes of first team football this season for Lens, and had become increasingly more frustrated at his lack of first team opportunities.
"It was my intention to stay at Lens until June," he continued. "But they thought it better to leave straight away after I had signed for another club.
"At Lens, I didn't have the chance to play. I want to play, it's as simple as that."
The youngster also confirmed that Spurs were not the only club interested in securing his services, with two other Premiership clubs tracking the player.
"
Other than Tottenham, there were also Arsenal and Chelsea," he said. "I opted for Spurs because of their plans for me. They effectively offered to quickly integrate me into the first team to offer me maximum playing time.
"They hope to get the same from me as Arsenal did from Theo Walcott. Concerning Arsenal and Chelsea, the propositions were interesting, but as with Lens, they suggested that I spent time in the youth team and the reserves."
