"Conor is a top midfielder, who we have worked tirelessly to add to our squad, the Spurs head coach, Thomas Frank, told the club's website. He is still young, so has plenty of room for improvement, but also has huge experience across the Premier League, La Liga and with the England national team. Conor has captained teams so will bring leadership, maturity, character and personality to our dressing room,"
"I'm so happy and excited to be here, taking the next step in my career at an amazing club, he said. I wanted to be a Spurs player and thankfully the club felt the same. It was very easy, it happened very quickly and I'm ready to get on the pitch. I know how great the fans are, I'm really happy to be a part of it here and want to create special moments and memories together."
