Ghaly has two days remaining to find a new club or risk spending around five months without making a single appearance.

The Egyptian midfielder is aware that his hopes to break into Spurs' squad are all but over.

"Spurs have signed some very good players this summer to complement a squad already filled with quality," he told Sky Sports.

"It is clear that I am not going to play there this season and I need to find a new club."

Ghaly fell out of favor at White Hart Lane following his infamous shirt tantrum with Tottenham's former coach Martin Jol in May 2007.

"I have no problem with anybody at Spurs who are a great club but it is clear that for the sake of my career I need to move on," he added.

Derby Return?

Ghaly spent a relatively successful loan spell with Derby County in the second half of last season.

Although they were relegated to the Championship, Ghaly hasn't ruled out a return to Pride Park.

"A loan move could be ideal for all parties concerned, I want to play in the Premier League, it is the place to be, however I would not rule out a return to Derby County."

"Paul Jewell is a great manager and a great motivator. I have followed Derby's movements in the transfer market this summer and they have invested heavily in new players.

"It will take time for them to gel but I am sure they will challenge for promotion this season."
