Spurs' Danny Rose puts clubs such as Manchester City and United on red alert by declaring: I will play up north

Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose says he would consider offers to leave the club, only two days out from the beginning of the new Premier League season.

The England international, 27, is currently the longest-serving player at the North London side and in recent years has emerged as one of the division’s top left-backs.

Such form has prompted Rose to be linked with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, although it is thought Tottenham would not allow him to leave - especially following last month's sale of fellow full-back Kyle Walker to City.

However, with his latest comments Rose is sure to attract the ire of manager Mauricio Pochettino and the Tottenham hierarchy. A product of the Leeds United academy, he is determined to move “back up north”, while he also criticised Tottenham’s decision to sell Walker and implored the club to sign household names. Tottenham are the only Premier League side yet to make a signing this summer.

"I am reaching my peak and have probably only one big contract left in me," Rose told English newspaper The Sun. "Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don't want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal.

“I will say this too: I will play up north. I don’t know exactly when but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere. I have been away for over 10 years now and I don’t get to see my mum that often.

“I’m not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I’d have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club.”

Rose has been sidelined since January with a medial ligament injury, but was expected to return to the starting line-up early next month. Tottenham, who finished runners-up in the league to Chelsea last season, open their account on Sunday at newly promoted Newcastle United. Whether or not Rose will stay remains to be seen - his contract runs until 2021 - although he has questioned the club’s lack of transfer activity.

"I am not saying buy 10 players, I'd love to see two or three - and not players you have to Google and say, 'Who's that?' I mean well-known players," said Rose, while also claiming he "knew what he was worth" in terms of salary.

"As a Tottenham player I'd love to see more signings. It would lift me seeing a top player come through the door ... I'm just not buying the idea that we don't need anyone.

"As a starting 11 we have one of the best in the league, without a shadow of a doubt, but after that ... I definitely feel we need to bolster the squad."

Nutritional yeast

This is Firth's pick and an ingredient he says, "gives you an instant cheesy flavour". He advises making your own cream cheese with it or simply using it to whip up a mac and cheese or wholesome lasagne. It's available in organic and specialist grocery stores across the UAE.

Seeds

"We've got a big jar of mixed seeds in our kitchen," Theasby explains. "That's what you use to make a bolognese or pie or salad: just grab a handful of seeds and sprinkle them over the top. It's a really good way to make sure you're getting your omegas."

Umami flavours

"I could say soya sauce, but I'll say all umami-makers and have them in the same batch," says Firth. He suggests having items such as Marmite, balsamic vinegar and other general, dark, umami-tasting products in your cupboard "to make your bolognese a little bit more 'umptious'".

Onions and garlic

"If you've got them, you can cook basically anything from that base," says Theasby. "These ingredients are so prevalent in every world cuisine and if you've got them in your cupboard, then you know you've got the foundation of a really nice meal."

Your grain of choice

Whether rice, quinoa, pasta or buckwheat, Firth advises always having a stock of your favourite grains in the cupboard. "That you, you have an instant meal and all you have to do is just chuck a bit of veg in."
