Danny Rose has claimed that he will only consider leaving Tottenham once Mauricio Pochettino stops giving him advice.
The left-back was tipped to leave the club in the summer and was in fact left out of their pre-season trip to Asia to explore opportunities elsewhere.
A move away never came to fruition and Rose has instead featured regularly for the club this term despite doubts over his future.
The 29-year-old has so far made 11 appearances for the Lilywhites this campaign but he has been far from his best and has made some errors in his time on the pitch.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard, the ex-Leeds United man opened up on his relationship with Pochettino and the chats they've held over the course of the campaign so far.
"When the manager stops calling me into his office, stops giving me advice, that's when I'll think it's time to leave Tottenham," he said.
"But until then, I'm not going anywhere. I'm lucky to have a manager at Tottenham who, from the first day we met, has always stuck by me, regardless of anything, regardless of the rubbish in the media about me being sold or not part of his plans — all that nonsense."
With Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon also challenging for the left-back berth at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the England international has stated that he has spoken with his manager about his game a number of times already this season as he looks to get back to his best.
"There's no magic formula," he said when asked about his form. "I've personally made quite a few mistakes this season and I know that because the manager has called me in quite a few times and we've analysed things.
"It can happen throughout your career and it's happening right now to me. The manager has done everything possible to help me get back to how I was playing last season. Obviously I'm raring to go and I'm up for the challenge.
"I'm ever so lucky for that relationship that I have with [Pochettino]. With Gareth [Southgate], I can say the same. We speak whenever we're here [at St. George's Park]. We speak occasionally on the phone and if I play I want to give everything for him and the team, and obviously for the nation.
"I've got very good relationships with both managers, I feel as if both managers know that I may not always play well but they can rely on me giving 100 per cent in each game that I play. I feel very lucky that I'm in the situation I'm in."
