Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of United States international right-back DeAndre Yedlin.
The defender, who impressed at the World Cup with Jurgen Klinsmann's men, had drawn interest from Anderlecht, Roma, Genoa, Liverpool and Lyon.
But he has opted for a move to White Hart Lane, though will not land in London until next summer.
Indeed, despite signing a four-year contract with Mauricio Pochettino's side, Yedlin will remain with Seattle Sounders until the start of the 2015/16 campaign.
"I'm very excited. I'm excited to get into the Premier League and challenge myself against some of the best players in world", he told Spurs TV.

"I'm a very attack-minded defender and any chance I get to go forward I love it."
