At £11 million, Rebrov is the record signing for Tottenham Hotspur.  He is the forward that the fans have all been hoping for and his arrival sparked hopes that this would be the corner turned for Spurs, as he seems to be someone who can turn chances into goals on a consistent basis.

A prolific scorer alongside Andrei Shevchenko (now of AC Milan), both at club and international level, he sought to free himself from the comparisons with his team-mate by trying his luck in England.  Although short, he has good ability in the air, he has a real turn of pace and knows where the goal is.  In interviews so far, he has expressed his desire to work hard for the side and to ensure that he is a success with Tottenham.  Music to the ears of management and fans alike.  Having played in the Champions League for Dynamo Kiev, he should have nothing to fear in the Premier League and the only problem at the moment, is where the service will come from.

After arriving in May 2000, he made a quiet start.  His first goals came at the double with two against Everton.  His first touch is sublime and he appears to be a top class player, but how the rest of the team get on with him is yet to be seen.  Being an amateur radio enthusiast, I hope they can get on the same wavelength as him !!

Despite carrying an injury (not something that is unusual in the Spurs squad), he battled away and scored more goals as the season moved into it's last few months, including two in the FA Cup 6th round tie against West Ham United.  

The best of the little Ukrainian didn't materialise at Tottenham.  He was side-lined through non-selection for the majority of the 2001-02 season and failed to make the bench for the first match of 2002-03.  Rumours of a sale had been circulating during the summer, but nothing concrete happened, with Hoddle proclaiming that Sergei had a part to play in the Spurs season ahead. 

He returned to Tottenham when his loan spell ended at Fenerbache, but David Pleat did not want to play him and he left on a free transfer for West Ham United, losing Spurs millions in the process.

Unsuccessful at the Boleyn Ground, he departed for his first club Dynamo Kiev, where he regained some form and also his place in the Ukraine national team.
