MOUSA DEMBELE has completed his £15million move to Tottenham.
The Belgium international passed a medical this afternoon and put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
Dembele moves after an impressive two-season spell at Fulham where he made 74 appearances and scored seven goals after signing from AZ Alkmaar.
He tweeted: "I would like to thank all the Fulham fans for their support! You were amazing!"
Spurs' swoop for the playmaker comes just 48 hours after the £30m sale of Luka Modric to Real Madrid.
And it looks set to be another frantic final two days of the transfer window at White Hart Lane.
Rafael van der Vaart has been heavily linked with a move back to Hamburg with the Germans today declaring that they were desperate to re-sign the Dutch star.
Chairman Carl-Edgar Jarchow said: "There is not a lot of time - it is really up to Tottenham Hotspur.
"If we have a chance to sign him, we will do everything we can to make that happen."
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has also renewed the interest he showed while Chelsea boss in Shakhtar Donetsk forward Willian.
Shakhtar chief executive Sergei Palkin today claimed he had rejected a bid of just under £12m for the Brazilian and that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had also made an enquiry about two other players.
Palkin said: "Mr Levy, the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur FC, personally flew to Donetsk to negotiate over Willian.
"But his latest offer was 15 million euros, which we of course did not accept.
"Levy, by the way, hinted that besides Willian, Villas-Boas was interested in Douglas Costa and Fernandinho, but he mentioned that just casually, without any specifics."
