The former Chelsea and Barcelona star underwent a medical with the club on Thursday and joins an attacking line-up which already includes Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Pavlyuchenko.[LNB]Redknapp said: "He's joined us and he's a player we've always admired. He's a player we have been chasing for a couple of weeks.[LNB]"West Ham came in but before the takeover we were hot on the trail of Eidur and had contact with his people.[LNB]"He can play several positions. He's a fantastic footballer, a clever footballer.[LNB]"It was his decision. I rang him. I left a message saying 'Eidur, if you are down the road with West Ham, Zola and Steve Clarke are friends of yours. Don't fall out with them.'I get on great with David Sullivan and I don't want any hassle with him either.[LNB]"But he (Eidur) came back and said 'It's my choice. I want to come to Tottenham.'[LNB]"He can play several positions. He had a great spell in midfield with Chelsea. He gives you options with your system. You don't play at Barcelona and in the Champions League unless you are a top player."[LNB][LNB] Transfer Specials. Click here to bet.
