Tottenham have agreed a deal with Inter to sign experienced midfielder Edgar Davids.
The Dutch international only joined the Nerazzurri last summer, but he failed to hold down a regular place in the side.
The club have granted him a free transfer as they would like to cut his high salary from the wage bill.
"It's terrific that he is joining us. He will lift the team's performance," stated Tottenham Coach Martin Jol.
“He is one of the most versatile midfielders, a playmaker, a ball-winner with great stamina and huge charisma.
“We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and I believe Edgar will come in and lead by example.
“This is a player who went to Barcelona when they were middle of the league and took them close to winning the title."
Davids, who has also played for Milan and Juventus in Serie A, has been capped 73 times by Holland.
He won three Scudetti with the Bianconeri, where he enjoyed the best years of his career.
