Ledley King wants Tottenham Hotspur stay

Tottenham Hotspur defender Ledley King has expressed his desire to remain at White Hart Lane next season.

The 31-year-old, who suffers from a chronic knee injury, is out of contract in July.

King has spent 16 years on Spurs' books and he says that he has no intention of playing anywhere else.

"I've been discussing things with the club and my contract expires this summer," King told the club's official website.

"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 in pre-season on my future.

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

Spurs won 11 of the 21 Premier League games in which King featured last season.
