Addressing the situation, Chadli’s agent clarified the stance, stating, “It is true that we thought about a loan, but then we discussed with Tottenham, and we decided that Nacer would stay because it is the best option.” Daniel Evrard explained the decision further, highlighting that Chadli is not sidelined like some other players in similar situations. Despite not being a consistent starter, Chadli remains part of the squad and regularly features in matches.
The agent emphasized Chadli’s commitment to the team and downplayed concerns about his spot in the Belgian national team for the upcoming World Cup, stating, “Obviously, the World Cup is important, but Nacer is not afraid of losing his place with the Devils.”
For now, a departure is not in the plans for the midfielder, even though he has yet to secure a guaranteed starting role at Spurs. Since the departure of André Villas-Boas and the appointment of Tim Sherwood, Chadli has experienced a significant reduction in playing time.
