Vlad Chiriches is happy to maintain the Romanian tradition at Tottenham.

Gica Popescu and Ilie Dumitrescu both played for Spurs in the '90s.

"Yes, they were very good players, I spoke with them before I came here and they told me it's a big, big club with a big history and it (this move) will be something incredible for me," the new Spurs defender told the club's website.
