Spurs defender refuses to rule out QPR move

Bassong is currently behind in the pecking order at White Hart Lane and could be interested in a move away from the club in order to get regular first-team football.

“Has not playing often been difficult? Yes, of course. I’m human – I have feelings and emotions,” Bassong said.

“But no matter what happens, I have to take it and move on. Yes, it’s been difficult – my situation has been difficult, I think everyone knows that.

“I think maybe it wasn’t that fair, but that’s football and life is not fair sometimes, so what do you want me to do? I just keep playing and smiling. It’s okay.”

Bassong came close to joining Queens Park Rangers in the summer and the defender admits he would consider a January move to thec lub.

“I’m interested in everything,” Bassong said. “I’m not going to say ‘No, I’m not interested in anyone who’s coming for me’.

“First of all, I want to play for Spurs. When I’m playing here, I’m happy. Then, if I’m not playing enough, then we’re going to think about something else.

“But for now, I played last night, I’ve come back fine – I’m happy.

“When you get a chance to play, you feel more confident. When the manager gives you a chance to play, no matter which games it is, you feel better.

“You can express yourself and show people you’re still here and that the manager can count on you. I think that’s what I’m doing and I think I’m doing well.”
