Jermaine Jenas has admitted being left in limbo over his Tottenham [LNB]future during the January transfer window. [LNB]Inter Milan expressed an interest in the England midfielder last month but no deal materialised.[LNB]Jenas was an automatic choice in midfield before manager Harry Redknapp took over last October, but he no longer enjoys that status and the £14million signing of Wilson Palacios has pushed him further down the pecking order. [LNB] Back in the Tottenham team - for now: Jermaine Jenas against Shakhtar Donetsk[LNB] Speaking after he captained a weakened Spurs side to a 2-0 UEFA Cup defeat at Shakhtar Donetsk, Jenas said: 'I was very flattered when I heard about Inter Milan. If a club like Inter take an interest in you, you will always take notice. It is good for confidence. [LNB] Jump to it: Wilson Palacios is the man in possession of Jenas' place in the side [LNB]  Shakhtar 2 Spurs 0: Late pain in Ukraine for keeper Gomes and Tottenham second XI[LNB]The kids are alright!

But I spoke to the manager, who said he wanted me to stay, and that is where we are at the moment. [LNB]'The manager knows what I am capable of, and it was good to be back in the team against Shakhtar. [LNB]'I was also happy to be back in the side for the 0-0 draw against Arsenal[LNB], and hopefully there are more games to come.'[LNB]Palacios was left in London along with a number of other key players for the last-32 tie, and the Honduran is expected to return in central midfield in the Premier League fixture at Hull [LNB]on Monday, meaning Jenas may lose his place once more.[LNB] [LNB]
