Spurs Poll: Is DeAndre Yedlin A Good Signing?

American right back signing confirmed, but is it a good move?

By K.J. Stewart /

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club last night confirmed the signing of United States right back DeAndre Yedlin from Seattle Sounders. The player will remain with his club for another season and join up with his new team-mates ahead of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. Yedlin has signed a four year contract with the White Hart Lane outfit and was encouraged to make the move by the United States national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann - a former Spurs player - who also took to Twitter to congratulate Yedlin about the move. About the move, Yedlin told Spurs' official website "I€™m very excited to come to the Premier League and challenge myself against some of the best players in the world". He is an incredibly pacey and attack-minded full back who impressed when given pitch time for the United States at this summer's World Cup. Indeed, in his substitute appearance against Belgium - one of three appearance at the tournament - he made more key passes and beat more men than any other player on his team. He only signed professional terms with Seattle Sounders in 2013, after coming through their academy, and has since made 52 competitive appearances in all competitions for them. He actually played against Spurs earlier this summer during the English side's United States tour, with the match ending 3-3. What we want to know is if you think the whole deal is good for Spurs. With Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton and Ryan Fredericks all capable of playing in the right back position, is Yedlin needed?
