Behrami had only joined Hamburg at the start of last season but was made available this summer following a hard spell with the club.
His earlier stint in England was with West Ham 2008-11.
Behrami has earned 59 caps for his country and has scored twice on the worldwide stage.
Meanwhile, Spurs midfielder Stambouli could follow in the footsteps of his ex- team-mate Etienne Capoue to Vicarage Road after Watford had a bid for the 24-year-old accepted.
Behrami becomes the newly promoted Premier League club’s latest signing of the summer window after also securing the services of defender Jose Holebas from Roma.
