Tottenham Hotspur fullback Danny Rose says he has nothing to prove to anybody.

The England international almost left Spurs this summer.

But Rose isn't concerned about his performances at both domestic and international level.

He said: "I don't need to prove myself to anybody.

"I have a manager at club level who knows me. Last season I played quarter-finals and semi-finals in the Champions League, I played in the final. So I've got a manager there who believes in me.

"Then if you look at international level, I've got a manager that whenever I've been available for selection, I've been chosen.

"He fully believes in me and I'm very grateful. I'm lucky to have managers at club level and international level who believe in me.

"I don't feel I've got anything to prove to anybody and I feel as if I've done enough over the years to prove my worth.

"I obviously just want to repay everybody that's shown faith in me. It's been a great start to the campaign and I'm looking forward to what's ahead."

Rose added: "It wasn't a tough summer - it is what it is. I guess I should be happy with maybe being up for sale and having started the first four games for Tottenham and the first England game of the campaign. I can't lie - I am very happy."
