My heart is with Benfica and I'd love to return there reveals Spurs' Rocha
27 May 2008
to rejoin Benfica.
The 29-year-old arrived at White Hart Lane in the middle of last season but has not established himself as a regular under head coach Juande Ramos, or predecessor Martin Jol.
Uncertain future: Richardo Rocha
"Benfica is the club of my heart, always was and always will be," said Rocha. "I have a lot to thank Benfica for and if one day there'll be an opportunity to return I would see it as a great opportunity."
Rocha, signed as defensive cover, made a mistake against Arsenal in one of his
first appearances for the club and this season only featured five times.
He is expected to be part of a clear-out at Spurs as Ramos shapes his squad for
his first full season in England.
Goalkeeper Radek Cerny has left for QPR, while full-back Young-Pyo Lee is also
expected to depart. Spurs may also listen to offers for Anthony Gardner, Benoit
Assou-Ekotto, Paul Stalteri, Paul Robinson and Pascal Chimbonda.
Interest in Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o appears to have cooled but his team-mate Giovani dos Santos continues to be linked with Spurs.
Spurs looked at Fred in January but a bid is not thought to be imminent, despite the agent of the Lyon striker claiming he expects an offer.
