Nacer Chadli is frustrated at having to play out wide for Tottenham and is concerned for his World Cup in the Belgium squad, according to the player's agent.
The Evening Standard report the attacking midfielder is unhappy at Spurs after making ony seven Premier League starts this season.
“Nacer had to play in a role which doesn’t suit him," Chadli's agent Daniel Evrard said.
"They wanted him to play on the left wing and he is not exactly a winger – he prefers to play through the middle.
"It’s very difficult for him because we’ve not seen the best of him at Tottenham. He has big potential so he is a little bit frustrated.”
Evrard admits a move in the January transfer window is a possibility and says a loan could be the best option for all parties.
He added: "For him to play at the World Cup it’s important so why not a loan? We haven’t spoken to Tottenham yet but I know there are clubs interested in him.
"There are a lot of players in the same situation who are not in the team and they want to play in the World Cup so there is a market for a lot of clubs."
