Dutchman also eagerly anticipating clash with Manchester United.
Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart has revealed that he would like to stay at the club until the end of his playing career.

The 27-year-old has made waves in the Premier League following his €9.5 million summer switch from Real Madrid.

The Dutchman has already bagged 11 goals this season and with three-and-a-half years left on his contract at White Hart Lane, has dispelled any ideas of him not staying in north London for the duration.

"I love it here. I love the players and I love the down-to-earth attitude at the club," he told The Sun.
"If I have the opportunity, I would stay here for the rest of my career."

With Spurs set to meet unbeaten Manchester United this Sunday, the Spurs talisman is confident that they can turn over their title rivals, much to the benefit of the Premier League.

"Tottenham-United is the biggest game of the Premier League this season," he said.

"Not only for us at Spurs but for all the Premier League because United are unbeaten.

"If we beat them, it opens up the league for everyone else who is chasing the title.

"And that includes us, we've got the squad to win the league."

Meanwhile, Van der Vaart has hailed the professional attitude of Manchester United legend David Beckham, who is currently training with Tottenham.

"I've had one training session with David and it's nice to have him around. He's a great player and a great ambassador for the game," he said.
