Tottenham striker Adel Taarabt is frustrated by Harry Redknapp's decision not to allow him to join Malaga on a season-long loan arrangement.

The 20-year-old, who had a spell on loan with QPR last term, has failed to make a first-team start for Spurs despite moving to White Hart Lane more than two years ago.

The Morocco international was hoping to resurrect his career in southern Spain, telling Moutakhab.net.: "Malaga do not have the funds to agree a fee so they 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.

"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."
