The Schalke midfielder and Germany under-21 international had refused to sign a contract extension with his club, leaving him free to negotiate a contract with other teams in view of a summer move.

Said contract was worked out with Spurs, and we were expecting Holtby to be arriving at White Hart Lane in the offseason, but Daniel Levy and company have thrown the world a curveball by picking him up in January. Tottenham’s official site is confirming that an agreement has been reached with Schalke for the immediate transfer of the 22-year-old, which means they’ll be able to deploy the talented midfielder immediately.
