The loaning scenario kept going on till 2011, and from then, he played for the senior team of Tottenham Hotspur. He played 227 matches for them, scoring four times and giving 20 assists, which impressed Pep Guardiola to sign him in the 2017 season for a hefty amount.

“I’m absolutely delighted for me, my family, for everyone that’s put in the hard work to get me here.

Obviously, just coming back after an amazing high of last season in winning the Treble and finally getting the Champions League, which is the one trophy that we didn’t have as a as a group and as collectively, I wanted to go and do it again. The lads have got that hunger again to go and achieve something really special again this season, fingers crossed. So I wanted to be a part of it and I didn’t want to miss out on that.”
