DANNY ROSE has revealed that he would have loved to play in Spain during his career.
The former Tottenham full-back has been out of action since leaving Watford last year.
Rose, 33, has not yet hung up his boots and could yet get his wish.
Quizzed about where he'd like to go, he told talkSPORT: "Spain's probably been my most ideal country that I'd love to have played in. I love how they play football over there.
"But I'm definitely open to anywhere at the moment."

Asked if he's ever been close to moving to LaLiga, he added: "No, I was close to - well until a bid comes in you don't know how close, close is.
"But one of the big boys in France, I was close to going there."
Pressed for a name, he revealed: "I spoke to Paris [Saint-Germain] once upon a time.
"It was probably a year before the Champions League final - five years ago probably I spoke to them.
"I've spoken to teams in Italy and Turkey - but until a bid actually comes in, how close are you?"

Rose made just nine appearances for Watford before falling out of favour at Vicarage Road.
The former England international didn't play last term, but did appear on Sky Sports as a pundit.
Earlier this year he trained with non-league York City in a bid to build his fitness as he looked for a club.
During his pomp Rose earned 29 England caps, with five of them coming at the 2018 World Cup.
