English clubs keen on Julian De Guzman may miss out as the Canadian star would prefer to remain in la Primera.

De Guzman - Deportivo La Coruña
Julian de Guzman has revealed that he would prefer to stay in Spain if he were to leave Deportivo La Coruna in the summer, despite reported interest from English clubs.

The Canadian international knows that he may have to leave the Riazor in the summer with the club looking to balance their books. Sevilla, Villarreal and Benfica have also been rumoured to be interested in the Deportivo midfielder.

While Tottenham Hotspur remain a candidate, De Guzman is not ready to make any statements about his future until the end of the season.

"At the moment there are only rumours," he told Goal.com. "The truth is that my situation here is complicated.

"My agent has been working hard for the past few weeks and soon I will talk to him and see what we can do.

"There are some big teams being linked with me and I would prefer to stay in Spain, but I have to think seriously about what will be the best decision for me."

Deportivo are in the European places and De Guzman thinks that they must now hold on and make it into the Europa League next term.

"There are still a few games left and if we continue with this form then I think that we could achieve that," he added.
