Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Benjamin Stambouli has finally secured a move to the French champions Paris Saint-Germain after completing his 12-month nightmare at the White Hart Lane.
The France international joined Spurs from Ligue 1 outfit Montpellier in the summer of 2014, but has not able to make much impact under Mauricio Pochettino, with 12 Premier League appearances last season.

The 24-year-old’s eight of his league appearances came from the bench and only managed to finish the full 90 minutes on two occasions for the north Londoners.
Stambouli has signed a five-year contract, as per PSG’s official website.
Most of the Lilywhites supporters were happy with Stambouli’s departure, after his disastrous 12 months tenure at White Hart Lane.
My ex keeps telling me I won’t do better so I told her Stambouli just went from Spurs to PSG after hardly playing for a year

Stambouli gone. Most irrelevant player in the history of Tottenham Hotspur.
