Tottenham Hotspur coach Juande Ramos has dismissed suggestions that striker Dimitar Berbatov will be sold in the January transfer window.
"Obviously Berbatov's agent is looking to do his business and has been making comments," Ramos told the BBC website today. "But we are happy because we have the player on a contract and we plan to keep him."
The Bulgarian's agent had said earlier in the week that Berbatov would be prepared to leave Tottenham if a big enough club made an offer.
The 26-year-old forward has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal since signing for Spurs in July 2006. Chelsea coach Avram Grant could also be targeting the player after saying he admired Berbatov's skills.
But Tottenham assistant coach Gus Poyet said no offer had been received for Berbatov.
"There is nothing on the table and there is nothing happening. It is not a problem for us. He is here and it is no drama," Poyet said. "We want to improve and we want to go to a better level - he has to stay."
Berbatov, who scored four goals in Tottenham's 6-4 Premier League win over Reading on Saturday, joined the north London club from Bayer Leverkusen in a £10.9 million deal.
