London's "Tottenham" club has sent midfielder Lewis Holtby to gain playing experience.

The truth is, the German won't have to travel far - the footballer will play for "Fulham" on loan basis.

23-year-old L.Holtby has played 13 matches for the "Spurs" team this season, but started 7 of them on the bench.

German did not meet coach Timo Sherwood's expectations, so the footballer was loaned to another club in the capital.

Last winter, L.Holtby, who moved from the "Schalke" team in Gelzenkirchen, cost the "Tottenham" club only 2 million euros.

"Fulham" club is not wasting any time - they have already added "Stuttgart" defender William Kvist to the team, and are also interested in signing "Olympiakos" striker Kostas Mitroglou.

However, the team could lose Bulgarian national team striker Dimitar Berbatov, who is actively being pursued by "Monaco" club.
