Spurs target Fred seeks Lyon exit

Olympique Lyon striker Fred is eyeing a move away.

Fred came close to joining Tottenham over the summer and was booed by Lyon supporters during Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Lille.

"These whistles change a lot of things," said Fred, whose form has dipped over the past year because of injury problems and his failure to secure regular first-team action owing to the emergence of Karim Benzema.

"The supporters don't want me to stay. It is difficult for me - it is hard when 40,000 people whistle at you.

"I think that I will leave in June, yes. In these conditions, it is too difficult.

"Not in the January transfer window, but in June. But I won't give up trying, I want to continue working hard for the team, for the coaching staff and for myself."
