In a statement Tottenham said: “Pierre’s finest moment in a Spurs shirt came against the team he’s now joining, when he fired home a late winner in the Stade Velodrome to secure top spot in Group D of the UEFA Champions League in November, 2022. We wish Pierre all the best for the future.”
He previously made 25 appearances for Bayern Munich, where aged 17 he became the youngest-ever player to represent the club in the Bundesliga when he made his debut in 2013, before moving to St Mary’s in 2016 having had spells on loan at Augsburg and Schalke.
Following rumours he was to leave Spurs ahead of the 2023-24 season, the 28-year-old had looked set to play a diminished role during the campaign until an injury crisis for head coach Ange Postecoglou led to him playing 39 times in all competitions.
