Tottenham forward Adel Taarabt is keen to leave the club so he can gain regular first team football elsewhere.

The 20-year old Morocco international has failed to make a single Premier League appearance during his two years at White Hart Lane and is hoping the Spurs will allow him to clinch a move to Spanish club Malaga.

"Malaga do not have the funds to agree a fee," he told Moutakhab.

"Malaga wanted me to join on loan with the option to buy.

"Spurs' president agreed the transfer, but the problem is Harry. I contacted him and said 'listen to the offers coach. I've been here for two years and never really have a chance'.

"There are clubs that want me who are ready to give me a chance. I want to improve and prove my talent. If I stay at Tottenham I wouldn't be able to do that. I want to leave.

"The manager has said that if I want to leave then it has to be a permanent transfer. I said there are clubs that want me, but you're asking for €5 million or €6 million when you could sell me for €3 million.

"Even if I went to Malaga for one season I could showcase my talent and gain more experience. I could generate interest from other clubs, either way I want to leave Tottenham."
