Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong has admitted he will consider his future in January if he slips down manager Harry Redknapp's defensive pecking order.

The former Newcastle man has admitted he found life tough at the start of the season after finding himself behind Michael Dawson, Younes Kaboul, Ledley King and William Gallas.

Injuries to King and Gallas have handed Bassong, who came close to joining Queens Park Rangers in the summer, the chance to play alongside Kaboul and at present he is focused on his game.

"Has not playing often been difficult? Yes, of course. I'm human - I have feelings and emotions," Bassong said. "But no matter what happens, I have to take it and move on. Yes, it's been difficult - my situation has been difficult, I think everyone knows that.

"I think maybe it wasn't that fair, but that's football and life is not fair sometimes, so what do you want me to do? I just keep playing and smiling. It's okay."

It has been suggested QPR may come back in for Bassong in the summer and if an offer arrives, he will consider it.

"I'm interested in everything," Bassong said. "I'm not going to say 'No, I'm not interested in anyone who's coming for me'.

"First of all, I want to play for Spurs. When I'm playing here, I'm happy. Then, if I'm not playing enough, then we're going to think about something else."
