Bruno has joined Spurs on an initial three-and-a-half month loan spell, but the move could be made permanent in a £3.1million deal at the end of the season.
“It’s a great opportunity that came by, I couldn’t let it pass,” Uvini told Sao Paulo’s official website.
“I have been in talks with Tottenham for a while, it’s a great club, with worldwide visibility. They asked me to come right away.
“It’ll be there for three months during which time I’ll try to adapt to English football and to the culture. I think I’m going to evolve, both professionally and personally by doing this choice.
“[Tottenham] have this squad renewing project so they asked me to join the team so that I will be fit to make my way in the next season.”
“To play the Champions League is every player’s dream,” he added.
“In the preparation period ahead of matches we used to watch the games and play it in video games too. I hope this is the right path for me.”
