Soccer: Rafael van der Vaart insists he is not about to quit Tottenham in search of Champions League football. The Dutch star has made a huge impact in his maiden season in England, grabbing 13 goals in the Premier League and 15 in all competitions so far.
However, some reports claimed the former Real Madrid man could look to move after Spurs failed to finish in the top four - meaning they will not be back in the Champions League next season, although they do look set to claim fifth which would gain them entry to the Europa League.
And Van der Vaart insists he is more than happy to remain at White Hart Lane.
Quoted in the
Daily Mirror
, he says: "I won't be looking to leave Tottenham to play in the Champions League. I have only been here one year. I have enjoyed my year and we will see what next season will bring."
In
The Sun
, meanwhile, he added: "We always want to play in Europe. It is good to have the experience from the Europa League and it would be a nice title to win.
"You saw this season that being in the Champions League has helped us. It is so important for players and that's why we want to win our final game against Birmingham."
