Bassong was a regular member of the Spurs back four during the early part of the season but Harry Redknapp has preferred to partner Michael Dawson with William Gallas since the Englishman's return from injury. Younes Kaboul has also been pushing for a spot and reports recently suggested Bassong could be set to leave White Hart Lane. He did little to quash talk of a switch to Paris Saint-Germain before Christmas, saying he had always been a supporter of the French capital club. However, Bassong maintains that he will be staying with Tottenham as he is excited about the challenges ahead. "I will stay at Tottenham. I am one of the Spurs," he told Le Figaro. "When we see our forthcoming (games) with the Premier League and Champions League, it's motivating. "I have had approaches from other clubs but this is outdated now. It is the past. "When you play little, you ask yourself questions, ideas go through your head, but here everything is clear."
