Livermore ponders Spurs future

Livermore has become frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities in Harry Redknapp's side, and is open to the idea of a short-term move away if the right club comes calling. "I'll keep my options open for January and see where it leaves us," the 22-year-old said. "Would I consider a loan? If it's the right club for me and they play a certain style, yes. "Ultimately, it is down to myself and the gaffer. But I'll just keep in his face and push on from there." Redknapp, though, appears likely to hold on to the player with Tom Huddlestone currently out injured. "We've only got Scott Parker, Luka Modric and Sandro in midfield. We're not overloaded what with Tom Huddlestone injured," said Redknapp. "If you include Jake we've only really got four specialised central midfielders."
