Former Arsenal and Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has joined German club Werder Bremen.
"For me, Werder Bremen is a new adventure," said the 33-year-old Silvestre, who was a free agent.
The defender had been looking for a club since his deal with Arsenal expired in the summer and has agreed a two-year contract with Werder.
The Frenchman, who has won 40 caps, began his career at Rennes before joining Inter Milan and then United.
He came to Old Trafford in 1999, where he enjoyed a successful nine-year spell, winning four Premier League titles, one FA Cup as well as the Champions League.
"I want to be one of the leading players in the team and to help guide the younger players," added Silvestre, who could make a quick return to north London as Bremen are in the same Champions League group as Spurs.
Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf said: "He is still hungry for success. I'm sure our players will benefit from him being here. He's an asset."
