Soccer player Lee Young-pyo of the English Premier team Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly again seeking a transfer to Italy's AS Roma.

The online edition of Italian daily Il Romanista says the South Korean defender has not fit in well at Tottenham and is apparently regretting his decision to stay in England.

Lee rejected a transfer to AS Roma in August citing unidentified personal reasons.

The report said that Lee's agent has resumed contact with the Italian team for a possible transfer in January.

But the agent flatly denied the report citing no contact with the team since the earlier deal fell apart.
