Cristian Romero flew to London on Thursday evening ahead of completing his £47million move to Tottenham from Atalanta.
The 23-year-old Argentina international centre back was voted the best defender in Serie A last season and was considered the No 1 target of Fabio Paratici, Tottenham's new director of football.
Romero and his agent Ciro Palermo flew from Bergamo airport where he spoke to Italian media.
'Did Tottenham and Paratici want me strongly? I thank them, from the first day they were interested in me, the project they have for me I liked and so for this I chose Tottenham,' Romero told Sky Italia.
