Rafael van der Vaart insists he is staying at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The Holland international has been a big success since joining Spurs in the summer of 2010, and is sure to play a key role for them in the remainder of the season.

There have been suggestions that failure to secure a top-four spot could see van der Vaart seek a transfer, but he insists his future remains at White Hart Lane.

“Even if we don't manage to get into the Champions League, that is no reason for me to leave," the former Real Madrid ace, 29, told The Sun.

"Any young player wants to play for Barcelona, Manchester United or Real Madrid. But that is something I've done, and I am now happy at Spurs."
