Tottenham manager Martin Jol told the club's website: "I am disappointed that (the move) did not work out better. Grzegorz wants to play football every week, particularly in a World Cup year and I respect that. I wish him well at Southampton.

Rasiak was signed as cover for Spurs Egyptian striker Mido, but has failed to make an impression on any of his appearances.

Mido could return to Spurs in time for Sunday's Premier League match against Sunderland after his expulsion from the Egyptian squad at the African Nations Cup.
