Michael Dawson "very emotional" following Tottenham Hotspur exit

Newly-signed Hull City defender Michael Dawson admits that he was "very emotional" after leaving Tottenham Hotspur.

Michael Dawson has admitted that he felt "very emotional" after completing his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Hull City earlier today.

The defender ended his nine-year spell at White Hart Lane in a bid to secure regular first-team football this season.

The 30-year-old told Tottenham's website: "Very emotional. I saw the lads at the training centre yesterday and everyone at the club and it was emotional, there's no hiding it. I've been at the Club for nine-and-a-half years and I've enjoyed it so much, so many happy times, met so many great people, made many, many friends. But you know, that's football.

"I knew my opportunities were going to be limited this season and I'm someone who loves playing football. I had the chance to join Hull City and it's a club I know very well through the family connection with my brother [Andy Dawson] playing there for so long.

"I also spoke to Jake [Livermore] and Tom [Huddlestone, who also joined Hull from Spurs], they love it and Steve Bruce, someone who played in my position, who I watched when I was a young player. I'm 30 now but I want to go there and continue to improve."

Hull face Lokeren in the Europa League later this week.
