SAYING GOODBYE TO FANS IS A BIG SPUR FOR DANNY

- BY JEREMY CROSS

DANNY ROSE wants to stay at Tottenham next season so he can say goodbye to the fans.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Newcastle after falling out of favour with Spurs boss Jose Mourinho and was expected to leave this summer.

The England star, who joined Tottenham in 2007, has a year left on his deal and has not been offered a new one. Rose is a £5million target for former club Leeds, but he told the Second Captains podcast: “I am happy to stay at Tottenham and see my last 10 or 11 months out, I’d love to.

“There is nothing I want more than to play one more time in front of the fans. My last game for Spurs was a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool and at the time I didn’t know that was going to be, or could be, my last game for Spurs.

“I want to play in front of the fans one more time to cherish all the moments we have had over the years.

“They have always been good to me. I have possibly given them reasons in the past not to be so good to me, but they know when it was game time I gave everything for them.

“And I will continue to do that as long as I am contracted to Spurs.

“I’d love nothing more than to play one last time for Spurs to say goodbye and thank them for everything they have done for me.”
