Robbie Keane has vowed to do everything he can to help Tottenham pull clear of trouble.
The Republic of Ireland international secured a dramatic return to White Hart Lane ahead of Monday's transfer deadline after Spurs agreed a fee with Liverpool.
Keane only left the London club last summer but he is not dwelling on the disappointment of his short spell at Anfield.
He is happy to be back at Tottenham and is determined to make an impact under manager Harry Redknapp.
"I'm delighted to be back at a club I have very strong feelings for from having previously spent six wonderful years here," Keane told the club's official website.
"Coming back to Spurs was an easy decision to make because this is my home. Firstly in respect of the club - but also my house is in the area and everything is set up for me to walk right back into.
"It's funny how football works sometimes and situations turn around very quickly, but I can assure fans I will be giving my all to make sure this club stays in the Premier League.
"It was a difficult time for me at Liverpool, but there's no point in dwelling on it.
"Now I have the chance to work with a fantastic manager in Harry Redknapp, who has done a great job since he came in, so I am lucky to be getting this exciting opportunity."
Tottenham have not been able to string together a run of results to move into a more secure mid-table position but Keane feels there is enough quality in the squad to avoid the drop.
He said: "It's been an up and down season for the club and there's been a lot of change, including a change of manager, but now it's up to us as players to start getting the team up the table.
"It's all very close down there at the minute, and I will be doing everything in my powers to help us pull away from it.
"I'm coming back to a fantastic club with fantastic players. I am well aware of the strength of the squad having worked with nearly enough all of them!"
Keane could make his debut in Sunday's North London derby against Arsenal and he is looking forward to the contest.
"What a game to come back into," he enthused. "I've played in so many derbies against Arsenal over the years and I'm so excited at the prospect of another one at White Hart Lane possibly being my first game back."
