Roberto Soldado has promised to fire "sensational" Spurs into the Champions League.
Soldado, who has agreed a £26million move to White Hart Lane, says Andre Villas-Boas sold him a vision of turning Spurs into a European superpower.
The Spain striker, who has agreed a four-year contract with a one-year option at the north Londoners, said: "It was a unique offer and the best offer I have received.
"It has always been about a new sporting challenge rather than the money.
"I
spoke to Andre Villas-Boas and he convinced me to move for the new
project. He is building a new and exciting project and reaching the
Champions League will be an obligation.

"The Premier League has always interested me - I watched the
matches on TV and played against English clubs in European competition.
"This
is a sensational challenge for me. I promise the fans hard work and I
hope they will give me their full support in return."
Soldado also urged Gareth Bale to stay at White Hart Lane so the pair can form a partnership next season.
Speaking
to reporters at Valencia airport before boarding a flight to London to
undergo his medical, the 28-year-old was quoted as saying by newspaper
AS as saying: "Bale is a great footballer and you can see the effort
Tottenham are making to prevent him from leaving.
"Of course I want him to stay."
Spurs' England striker Jermain Defoe spoke earlier this week, revealing his excitement about linking up with Soldado in this Mirror exclusive.
