Spurs' Danny Rose looks to move north

Tottenham defender Danny Rose, said he would consider offers to leave the club and wants to "play up north" before the end of his career.

The Yorkshire-born 27-year-old, who has been sidelined with a knee injury for six months, has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Chelsea this summer.

Tottenham is yet to make a major signing during the transfer window and have seen Rose's fellow full-back Kyle Walker join Premier League title rivals Manchester City.

"Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don't want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal," he said.

"I will say this too, I will play up north. I don't know exactly when but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere. I have been away for over 10 years now and I don't get to see my mum that often.

"I'm not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I'd have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club."

Rose revealed he hopes Spurs make a couple of signings - "not players you have to Google and say, 'Who's that?' I mean well-known players" - and called Walker's departure "a big blow".
