The midfielder agreed a loan move at the weekend which will take him to Dortmund for the rest of the season, with an option for a permanent move over the summer.

And the 21-year-old has said that he is "glad" to have left the north London side after a difficult 18-month stay at White Hart Lane.

"I am very happy to be at Dortmund and glad that I have left Spurs," Boateng told German newspaper Bild.

"I definitely wanted to go back to the Bundesliga.

"Three days ago my agent phoned me to prepare myself for a transfer, but a few hours later the deal seemed off.

"But then I got in touch with (chairman) Daniel Levy and requested a transfer. He agreed!

"I have made a lot of mistakes in my career, but I feel I have acquired maturity during my difficult spell at Spurs. I had more than enough time to think about doing better.

"Borussia is lying in sixth at the moment and still has every chance to go to Europe next season. I want to help them to reach that."

  8. Another reason why Spurs got rid of Damien Comolli. I­ agree with XS. The bottom line is,he just didn't­ cut the mustard and never looked like he was going­ to.
    It seems Comolli said "Oh he looks good!...Buy­ him!!" to the first players he came across!!
