Ledley King yet to decide Spurs future

 
1 June 2012

Ledley King will take a decision in the pre-season as to whether to call an end to his playing career.

The Tottenham defender, who has constant injury issues to deal with, is not on the retained list provided by the club to the Premier League but he has not ruled out signing a new contract.

King has no appetite to join another club however and if he cannot continue playing will stay at Spurs in a non-playing capacity.

He told the club's official website: "I had a really good start to last season and was pleased to play as many games as I did.

"A knock in training set me back towards the end, but I opted to carry on playing rather than take the time out to have the knee seen to.

"Unfortunately that meant that I didn't play the last few games at the standard I would have liked.

"I've been discussing things with the club and my contract expires this summer.

"The club has been fantastic in supporting me and given me several options to stay involved with Tottenham. I shall take a view with them pre-season on my future.

"Tottenham have been the only club for me and if I can't play here then I shall look to be involved in another capacity."
