Roma striker Mido has ended his capital nightmare after joining Spurs on an 18-month loan deal.
The 21-year-old has failed to settle with the Giallorossi and has been allowed to sign for the Premiership outfit.
The Egyptian international has had a troubled career over the last few seasons but is confident that he can prove his worth.
"I am not a failure just because of what has happened in the past two years," stated the forward.
"I have matured a lot and I arrive at Tottenham with a different mentality. I have always wanted to play in the Premier League."
Tottenham are Mido’s sixth club in six years. He first hit the headlines at Ajax but was axed after he told the club he was leaving during a TV interview.
He was initially loaned to Celta Vigo before completing a move to French giants Marseille soon after.
Roma paid close to £5m for him in the summer but he has rarely featured given the form of Vincenzo Montella, Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano.
