Tottenham have completed their first signing of the summer just a week after beating Manchester United in the Europa League final.
Spurs salvaged their miserable 2024/25 domestic campaign with a major trophy following their Europa League triumph last week.
Ange Postecoglou's side beat Man United 1-0 in the Europa League final to end their 17-year trophy drought.
In the Premier League, however, Spurs finished in 17th place, recording a measly 38 points - winning just 11 games.

Postecoglou's future has been clouded by uncertainty despite leading the club to silverware this season.
But the club have already made a decision on their squad ahead of the new season.
The North London outfit have confirmed Kevin Danso has been signed permanently from Lens after the obligation to buy in his loan deal was triggered.
Danso joined Spurs during the January transfer window on an initial loan deal, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
He played 15 games across all competitions, including an appearance in his side's Europa League triumph in Bilbao.
The 26-year-old defender will officially become Spurs' first transfer of the summer on Sunday in a deal worth £21 million.
The club have also announced the departures of Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon and Alfie Whiteman following the conclusion of their contracts, while Timo Werner also leaves following the end of his loan deal from RB Leipzig.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who joined Marseille on loan last summer, has been snapped up by the French club, who triggered the obligation.
Speaking after inspiring Spurs to Europa League glory, Postecoglou was keen to stress how he wants to build on his European success, explaining: "I've had such a laser focus on winning this. Whatever happens, happens.
"We're still building this team. It's a young team, we need to add experience. My thought process has been about building a team that can be successful for five or six years."
