Dos Santos Blasts Tottenham For Blocking Sevilla Switch

Giovani Dos Santos has slammed Tottenham after manager Harry Redknapp blocked his move to Sevilla just hours before the transfer window closed.

The Mexico midfielder has become the forgotten man at the club having started just two Premier League games in three years at White Hart Lane.

He was expected to leave this summer with Redknapp streamlining his squad during the transfer window - and there were a string of Spanish clubs keen on a move for the 22-year-old.

And Dos Santos has confirmed that he was on the verge of joining Sevilla only for Redknapp to pull the plug on the deal, leaving him "disappointed, sad and angry" with the club.

"I was very surprised that with two hours left, my coach has changed his mind," he told Fox Sports.

"In three years at Tottenham I have not been taken into account and there has not been confidence in me at all. So I hope that this time I hear the truth when talking to him and we can get down to football.

"To be honest I already felt at another club, Sevilla, and we had already completed more than 50 per cent of negotiations. Almost everything had been agreed but with half an hour to go Spurs changed their minds, something I found very odd.

"Both myself and my agent have been left disappointed, sad and angry at the way Tottenham have acted.

"After such a long time without having any confidence in me I am now going to get my chance, which makes me feel weird. Even so, I mean to take this opportunity out of respect to the Tottenham fans and also because of the professional I am."
