The former Real Madrid playmaker has affirmed that he intends to stay at Tottenham for the coming English Premier League season despite intense speculation linking him to a move away from White Hart Lane towards Bundesliga...
Rafael Van der Vaart has come out and rubbished all the rumours regarding his future at Tottenham as he has confirmed that he intends to stay at Tottenham Hotspur for the next Premier League season. The former Real Madrid player
who signed for Spurs in 2010 has been integral to their squad strength in the Premier League.
Van der Vaart has been linked to a return to one of his former clubs, Hamburg in the present Premier League transfer window. The Dutchman played for Hamburg for three years from 2005-2008 and scored 29 goals for the German club
in just 74 matches. It was his prolific goal scoring nature that caught Tottenham’s eye as well which materialized into an eight million pound move to the English Premier League.
Hamburg’s present coach Thorsten Fink has admitted that he would love to have Van der Vaart back at Hamburg but such a deal might be out of reach for the time being due to financial constraints. Moreover, Tottenham’s new coach
Andre Villas Boas has apparently made it his priority to sort out the Spurs’ squad which could mean a change of faces at White Hart Lane.
Van der Vaart had formed a good partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 last season for Spurs and now as the Togolese striker is set to sign with Spurs on a permanent basis; it would make sense for the North London club to retain the
Dutch playmaker as well.
Van der Vaart said, "It's kind of incredible how my name has been mentioned across Europe in the last few days. But I just want to say that this is just gossip talking. I am about to play for Tottenham Hotspur in the new season.
I have had two good campaigns in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and I am enjoying it.”
He added, "It's amazing the people of Hamburg and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485 still hold me in such kind regard. I enjoy this; it gives me a big boost."
