Tottenham winger Giovani dos Santos is happy with his loan move to Galatasaray.

The Daily Mail says it is understood that there is a pre-agreed option to make the signing permanent at the end of the season for about £8million.

Giovani is excited to be teaming up Galatasaray boss Frank Rijkaard, who brought the Mexico international through at Barcelona before Tottenham snapped him up for an initial £4.7million.

"I'm very happy because it's an opportunity for me, and because I'm joining a coach I know," said the attacking midfielder, with one eye on the World Cup finals.

"I need to play. I need minutes to recover rhythm and form."
