Tottenham Hotspur's forgotten man Giovani dos Santos has been left "disappointed, sad and angry" after a proposed move to Sevilla was blocked just hours from completion.
The Mexico international moved to Spurs from Barcelona in 2008 but has failed to find his feet at White Hart Lane, going out on loan to Ipswich Town, Galatasaray and Racing Santander since 2009.
He was hoping to secure a move to Sevilla this summer and is unhappy that a proposed move back to Spain failed to come to fruition.
The 22-year-old told Sport: "To be honest I already felt at another club, Sevilla, and we had already completed more than 50 percent of negotiations.
"Almost everything had been agreed but with half an hour to go Spurs changed their minds, something I found very odd.
"I was very surprised (Spurs manager) Harry Redknapp changed his mind, given that in the three years I've been with Tottenham he has not used me or had confidence in me.
"I hope this time he is honest and tells the truth when I talk to him about where he would like me to play.
"Both myself and my agent have been left disappointed, sad and angry at the way Tottenham have acted and after such a long time without having any confidence in me I am now going to get my chance, which seems strange.
"Even so, I mean to take this opportunity out of respect to the Tottenham fans and also because of the professional I am."
