“I am young. I started to grow and it was the best option for me and I am very happy.
This is one of the three new first team additions made by the Spurs in January, and there will be high expectations for it to have an immediate impact when the club seeks to reverse what was a disappointing season. The striker scored 16 goals in 83 appearances during his stay in Bayern.
