King confident playing enough games to win new Tottenham deal

Tottenham captain Ledley King is confident playing enough games to warrant a new contract offer.

King admits he needs to play more, but is confident he can achieve that and can't see himself playing for any other club.

He said: "This is my biggest season at Spurs yet.

"It is the first time I have been in a situation like this - when my contract is up. So it is a big season.

"I have to prove I am still worth it. I can't see myself pulling on a shirt for anybody else at this stage of my career - although a player can never say never.

"At the end of the day, I just want to stay fit and if I can play, let's see what position that puts me in at the end of the season.

"It is down to me to play the games. If I don't play enough games, it is a difficult position.

"We will see what the situation is when all is said and done. If I get to 20 [games], I am not going to stop! I will keep playing as many as I can.

"At the moment I am just trying to bed in, get a bit of fitness and hopefully not get any niggles. If I can do that, I can get stronger and keep playing."
