Rebrov: Spurs not my dream team

Tottenham striker Sergei Rebrov has made it clear he does not see his long-term future at White Hart Lane.

The 28-year-old Ukrainian, who reported back for training this week, has warned that he will leave if Spurs fail to secure a Champions League place.

Rebrov told Russian newspaper Sport Express: "I'm not seriously putting down my roots in London. My present team, which I hope to see qualify for the Champions League in the new season, is not the top of my dreams."

He also spoke disparagingly about England, adding: "I admire the parks here although on my way to the city from my home in Chigwell I pass such neglected Arab districts that I instinctively press my foot on the accelerator."

Rebrov, signed from Dynamo Kiev for £11 million last July, is also disappointed Spurs did not sign Andrei Shevchenko, now at AC Milan.
