Ajax have completed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder
Edgar Davids on an 18-month deal.
The Dutch midfielder had fallen out of favour at White Hart Lane
this season and has been allowed to leave North London in order to
return to the club that first catapulted him to international
fame.
After making his debut for the Amsterdam outfit in 1991, Davids
went on to win three Eredivisie titles, the Uefa Cup and the 1995
UEFA Champions League title in his first spell for the Dutch
giants.
The tenacious tackler left the club in 1996 to join Milan, but
after spending more than a decade playing with the cream of the
continent's sides has now returned to the Amsterdam ArenA.
Davids will bring an element of steel and class to Henk ten Cate's
midfield and could make his debut in Saturday's clash with rivals
Feyenoord.
After playing a prominent role in Spurs fifth-placed finish last
term, Davids only appeared nine times in the Premiership this
season.
