Tottenham Hotspur full-back Stephen Kelly has admitted that he may have to leave the club to secure regular first-team football.
The 22-year-old has seen his first-team opportunities limited by the summer arrival of Paul Stalteri and Kelly is clearly frustrated by the situation.
He said: "I love it at Spurs, but will have to make a decision about my future if I'm not getting a game after Christmas.
"My contract is up at the end of the season and there is a new offer, but this is not about money.
"I was playing regularly last season. I'm capable of playing in The Premiership and want to show it."
Meanwhile, Spurs have moved to deny reports of a link with Marseille playmaker Franck Ribery.
Sporting director Damien Comolli told the club's official website: "Any stories linking us with a move for Ribery are pure speculation, but, of course, we all know he is a wonderful player."
