Holtby had previously agreed a pre-contract with the London club and was set to complete the move when the season ended, but unforeseen injuries to key midfield players had forced manager Andre Villas Boas' hand to complete the transfer sooner than expected.
A statement on the Tottenham Hotspur website read: We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Schalke for the immediate transfer of Lewis Holtby.
The Germany under-21 captain, who had already agreed terms to join the club this coming summer, has made 27 appearances for the Bundesliga side this season scoring four times.
Capped on three occasions by the senior German national side, the versatile midfielder joined Schalke in 2009 from Alemannia Aachen and was loaned out to Bochum and Mainz prior to making his breakthrough with the Gelsenkirchen-based club.
Lewis has made 160 appearances in his career to date, scoring 29 times.
