Don’t need to prove myself to anybody, says Danny Rose
Tottenham full-back Danny Rose has revealed that while he doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone, he is more than willing to stay and fight for his place at Spurs. The 29-year-old was placed on the transfer list this summer, but eventually decided to stay despite interests from PSG and Schalke.
Despite being listed during the summer window by Tottenham, Danny Rose eventually ended up staying at the club. The 29-year-old was considering his options especially after the arrival of Ryan Sessegnon but he opted to stay at the club and has seen his fortunes change. He’s become one of few players to start all four Premier League games for the North London side and has even established himself as a key England player.
There were rumors that Leicester City star Ben Chilwell would take over Rose’s left-back spot for the national team, but the 29-year-old has done well to stay in Gareth Southgate’s plans. Now in an interview with the Mirror, Rose has gone on to reveal that he has no plans of quitting Tottenham any-time soon, even adding that he has nothing to prove to anybody.
“I don’t need to prove myself to anybody. I have a manager at club level who knows me. You look at last season - I played in the quarter-final of the Champions League, I played in the semi-finals of Champions League, I played in the final. So I’ve got a manager there who believes in me. Then if you look at international I’ve got a manager that whenever I’ve been available for selection I’ve been chosen. He fully believes in me and I’m very grateful,” said Rose to Mirror.
"I don’t feel I’ve got anything to prove to anybody and I feel as if I’ve done enough over the years to prove my worth. I obviously just want to repay everybody that’s shown faith in me and it’s been a great start to the campaign and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. I guess I should be happy with maybe being up for sale and having started the first four games for Tottenham and the first England game of the campaign. It’s not about regular first-team football.
“I know my age and I know how the club’s run. It wasn’t tough, it is what it is. Everything that was publicised in the summer was not entirely true and I think in the future I will have my say on everything that happened but I don’t want to focus on negativity at the minute. I can’t lie, I am very happy, but I just want to say that everything that was written in the summer wasn’t entirely true,” concluded Rose.
