The playmaker was fantastic for Spurs and adapted well to the supposedly more physical nature of the Premier League.
Now plies his trade at Real Madrid where he has become a popular figure at the Bernebau.
Can play out wide and will be one of the finest creative attacking midfielders on show this June and July.
