Speculation surrounded a potential move in 2004 for the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year, but it was May 2006, when Berbatov finally joined Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of €16m,[7] (£10.9 million).[8] making him the most expensive Bulgarian player in history. After being granted a work permit, the transfer was completed, and Berbatov joined Tottenham on 1 July 2006. He scored two goals in two minutes in his first match as a Tottenham player against Birmingham City in a pre-season friendly match.[9]
Berbatov scored his first competitive Tottenham goal 2 minutes into his home debut in the Premiership game against Sheffield United at White Hart Lane. He built up a rewarding partnership with Robbie Keane in the UEFA Cup until Spurs' departure to Seville in the quarter-finals, and, despite Martin Jol's rotation of his strikers, Berbatov firmly established himself as the first choice forward at the club. He scored five goals in four games during the group stage of the UEFA Cup, with his performances earning two man-of-the-match awards in the group stages against Besiktas and Club Brugge.
Despite his good form in European competition, Berbatov took a while to adapt to the Premiership. However, he soon began to regain the league form he had shown at Leverkusen with an excellent performance against Wigan, scoring one and creating the other two in a 3--1 win. On 9 December 2006, Berbatov scored his first Premiership brace for Spurs in a 5--1 victory for his side against Charlton Athletic. Berbatov came on as a second half substitute against Fulham FC in the FA Cup to score his first two goals in the competition. Berbatov scored his first away goal in the Premiership at Goodison Park against Everton, a first-time shot from around the penalty spot after an Aaron Lennon cross. Spurs went on to win the match 2--1.
Berbatov and Spurs team-mate Robbie Keane were named joint winners of the FA Premier League Player of the Month award for April, becoming the first players to share the award since Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp and Edu jointly claimed the award back in February 2004. He scored the 100th goal of Tottenham's 2006--07 season with the first goal of a 2--0 victory over Charlton Athletic on 7 May 2007.
Berbatov is also one of the few people to have two goals included in the BBC's goal of the month competition shortlist, with his sublime efforts against Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough both being included. Berbatov ended the 2006--07 season with 12 goals in 33 appearances in the Premier League, and also chipping in with 11 assists.
Due to his highly impressive displays, especially in the latter half of the season, he won the Tottenham Hotspur player of the season award in 2006--07. Berbatov was also included in the FA Premier League's PFA Team of the Season on 21 April 2007, one of only three players in the team not to play for league winners Manchester United (the other two being Steven Gerrard and Didier Drogba). After Spurs narrowly lost to Arsenal in the North London derby on 22 December 2007, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger compared Berbatov to Thierry Henry.[10]
His first Spurs Premier League hat-trick came on 29 December 2007 after he bagged four goals in an incredible 6--4 win against Reading FC.
Berbatov played in his first cup final for Tottenham on 24 February 2008 in the Carling Cup at Wembley Stadium against Chelsea in which he scored an equalising penalty. Tottenham went on to win the game 2-1 after extra time, with Berbatov collecting his first trophy in English football.[11] On 9 March, Berbatov scored a brace of headers in the 4-0 demolition of West Ham United.[12] This took his Premier League tally of goals for the season to twelve, which was equal to his 2007 league total. He ended the season with 15 league goals and an identical overall record of 23 goals and 11 assists. He again scored Spurs' 100th goal of the season in this campaign, hitting the opener in the 1-1 draw at Wigan on 19 April.
