Peter Crouch is happy with his decision to sign with Tottenham.

Sunderland, Fulham and Aston Villa were among a host of clubs vying for his signature before he moved to White Hart Lane in July.

Crouch has begun only five League matches this season, but says: "My role in the England squad vindicates my decision to join Tottenham.

"My mind was pretty much made up when I got the call from Harry. Tottenham were a team moving forward."
