Kevin Anin: I'd rather play in French second division than join Spurs on loan

Le Havre midfielder Kevin Anin has revealed he snubbed Tottenham Hotspur to stay in the French second division because he feared a loan deal would not give him time to settle in at White Hart Lane.The 23-year-old says he still dreams of playing in the Barclays Premier League but blasted the offer from Harry Redknapp's club as 'unattractive'.Anin was offered a deal after impressing on a two-day trial but says he would rather progress in his homeland than risk making a short-term move.

I've never left home, so if I sign far away from Le Havre I will need time to adapt.'England makes me dream, but I believe it is wiser to go to a Ligue 1 club before making a name for myself there.'Anin almost joined French top-flight club Sochaux in August, but failed the medical because of an achilles injury.'I know the Sochaux coach wanted me,' he said. 'It could not be done, too bad. I will go on working hard. There will be other opportunities.' Ledley King: Paul McGrath's been an inspiration in battle to save my careerLampard: Uncle Harry has turned Spurs into a force to be reckoned withSpurs back in the hunt for former Arsenal star Patrick VieiraTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
