Christian Ziege has completed his move from Liverpool to Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed sum. The German international was unable to become a first-team regular at Anfield following his £5.5m move from Middlesbrough last summer. Ziege is Tottenham's fourth signing in a busy summer, following the arrivals of Teddy Sheringham from Manchester United, Gustavo Poyet from Chelsea and Goran Bunjevcevic from Red Star Belgrade.
Spurs manager Glenn Hoddle sees Ziege's arrival as a further step towards building a skilful versatile team. "We're delighted to have a player of Christian's quality on board. I'm looking for him to repeat the kind of form that made him one of the best wing backs in the world. He can play in numerous positions, including midfield, so I'm hoping to get the kind of form out of him that will get him back in Germany's World Cup squad. We've got players now that, whatever their attributes, can play good football," said Hoddle.
