As revealed by Mirror Sport, the 26-year-old Belgian has signed a five-year deal and will form a formidable centre-back partnership with fellow international Jan Vertonghen.
Alderweireld said: “I’m very proud to be a Tottenham player. I’m happy to be here & hope to have a wonderful time with this team."
Spurs’ confirmation is in defiance of threats from Southampton, where Alderweireld spent last season on loan, that they would take legal action to prevent the transfer.
The Saints reacted angrily on Monday to news of the potential switch, insisting they had had a pre-arranged deal with Atletico to sign Alderweireld for £6.8million.
