Louis Saha declared he had joined "the most dynamic and exciting team in the country" as he began life at Tottenham on Wednesday.
Saha trained with his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday morning, having completed a surprise switch to Spurs on Tuesday night in a deadline-day free transfer from Everton.
The 33-year-old striker, who signed an 18-month contract at White Hart Lane, is now at his fifth Barclays Premier League club and he had no doubt in which direction title-chasing Tottenham were heading.
"I have a big challenge ahead, which is why I felt it was right to go," said Saha, who could make his debut in Monday's game at Liverpool.
"I am not going to step down and I think I am joining the most dynamic and exciting team in the country at the moment."
Saha's transfer ended his three-year stay at Everton, where he scored 35 goals in 115 appearances after signing from Manchester United.
The Frenchman endured an injury-ravaged time at Old Trafford and thanked the Toffees for helping him resurrect his career.
