US defender Yedlin to join Spurs in January
London: English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that American defender DeAndre Yedlin will be joining the football team in January.
“We are pleased to confirm that DeAndre Yedlin will be joining the club in January,” said a statement on Tottenham’s website Tuesday, as per reports.
The 21-year-old defender penned a four-year contract with Spurs in August but had to finish his duty with the Seattle Sounders until the end of the Major League Soccer (MLS) season before joining the London-based club.
Yedlin has earned 10 international caps and made three appearances for the US at the World Cup in Brazil.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
