Chadli happy he rejected offers to leave Spurs

Tottenham winger Nacer Chadli is happy with his decision to stay for a second season despite interest in the summer.

The Belgium winger has scored four times this term and is thriving under Pochettino.

He told Nieuwsblade: "There was some interest but a transfer was never really there. I never thought to leave.

"At Spurs I wanted to fight for my place, because I know I have a lot of good things to show. The new coach has a different way of training, and that pleases me. Also my role in the system suits me.

"Either I play as a second striker, in support of Emmanuel Adebayor, or on the flank. That depends on the opponent. I find that I have become more efficient."
