"Every Sevillista should be happy," he told the club website. "We have to thank the president and the board for the effort they made in this signing. Zokora was our main objective for this season.
"We managed to close the deal not without significant effort. We hope it will prove worth the pain. We think the player deserves it.
"As soon as he knew about Sevilla's interest, he only gave signs of dedication and gratitude. This is important in these cases because it gives you leeway in the negotiation.
"We are all really happy today. He's a player who works a lot, who runs a lot, physically he's a wonder who covers a lot of the pitch, he's very versatile. He is what we needed to complete the excellent midfield that we already have."
The signing of Wilson Palacios from Wigan in January saw Zokora largely displaced from Redknapp's starting line-up and he has completed 90 minutes in the league just three times since the Honduran's arrival.
A stint at right-back proved unsuccessful and a particularly gruelling encounter against Aston Villa's left winger Ashley Young saw the former St Etienne player substituted just 35 minutes into his side's 2-1 win.
Sevilla and Tottenham clashed over the way the White Hart Lane side recruited former manager Juande Ramos in October 2007 and the dispute was only concluded when the two clubs reached an out-of-court settlement on Monday.
