Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.

If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.

I've shown people what I can do and want to establish myself as a Premier League player.

I'm ambitious, I want to play in the Champions League, and that's the aim with Tottenham - to start qualifying for the Champions League on a consistent basis.

If you can achieve winning a league championship, that, to me, is the full test of the team and management because it is over the full season and you have a lot of problems you have to overcome.

The Premier League is not my goal but a childhood dream. It is a dream that could be fulfilled.

I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.

Money is just a way to keep score. The best people in any field are motivated by passion. That becomes more true the higher the skill level gets.

You can take a sidewards step in the Premier League, go to a team in the Championship or come to a team in League One.
