Rafa's Going Nowhere

Tottenham Hotspur forward Rafael Van Der Vaart has made it clear he wants to stay at White Hart Lane. The Dutchman has regularly been linked with Schalke and former side Hamburg this summer but has no plans of leaving North London any time soon.

Van Der Vaart, who is looking forward to working with new coach Andre Villas-Boas, told The Sun “The new coach has good plans for me and this is important. I have heard excellent reports about AVB.”

“We have very good attacking players and if AVB imposes an offensive system the team could be a real spectacle.”
