Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o has ruled out moving to Tottenham Hotspur claiming we’re a “mid-table” club.
Eto’o told CRTV: “Tottenham, and I hope the English fans will forgive me, are a club in mid-table and I need more.
“I insist that I have a contract with Barcelona until 2010 and I feel great at the club.”

Lyon ‘keeper Gregory Coupet has admitted that he’ll be leaving the French club this summer.
The 35-year-old said: “Yes, I’m leaving, it had become an open secret.
“My way of saying thank you to the fans will be to win the Cup by being invincible.”
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like he’ll be headed to Spurs as Coupet’s club have said the following: “Lyon categorically deny having received any offer from the English club Tottenham about the transfer of Gregory Coupet,”
If Frenchman doesn’t arrive, then if the Daily Star are correct, then we’ll need a new ‘keeper as they report Paul Robinson is wanted by Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers.
An odd bit of news includes Gustavo Poyet. He’s supposedly told a Spanish radio station that we’re not interested in Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o.
The Uruguayan reportedly told Ona FM: “Samuel Eto’o is not a priority for our team. Moreover, we’re not interested in him,”
He added: “We’ll be having a meeting next week to talk about signings, as we’ve already made one interesting one for next season.”
Finally, Spurs have failed in a bid for PSV ‘keeper Heurelho Gomes say The Independent. The Dutch club reportedly want £11.6m for the Brazilian. AC Milan are favourites to land him.

Hossam Ghaly could be leaving Spurs after the Egyptian revealed that there are clubs interested in signing him.
The midfielder told FilGoal: “Blackburn want to sign me. I have offers from other Premier League sides in addition to a Hertha Berlin bid but I haven’t chosen my next destination yet.”
In The Mirror newspaper, Spurs manager Juande Ramos is reportedly interested in Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito and Seville striker Luis Fabiano.
Finally, it doesn’t look like Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o will be in a Spurs shirt next season.
A reported source close to Spurs told The Telegraph: “The club are keen to bring an end to the speculation linking Eto’o with Spurs. They admire him as a player but suggestions that he is going there are just not correct.
“Ramos did not meet [Eto'o's representatives] as some reports suggested. He has been at Spurs all week.”

Spurs have today been linked with quite a few players – as is the norm for the close season.
First off is Lyon striker Loic Remy. It’s unclear who the actual source is, but Sky Sports are reporting it as “it is said”.
Remy is 21 years old and has only made 12 appearances in two years. He must be good!
Another report claims Cruzeiro striker Marcelo Moreno would be interested in a move to White Hart Lane.
Spurs reportedly had a bid knocked back for the Bolivian international.
The striker reportedly told the Brazilian media: “I was told about the offer made by Tottenham. Of course I would like to play in England but as I said before, I have to like the place where I will be. The club has to get to an agreement with my agent and from what I know what has been offered wasn’t enough.”
L’Equipe report that Juande Ramos yesterday met with Barcelona representatives in Spain over the transfer of Samuel Eto’o. Apparently Spurs are willing to pay the staggering asking price of £31m, however, not willing to pay the Cameroon international’s high wages.
Defender Younes Kaboul could be moving to the South Coast after Portsmouth made an enquiry.
Kaboul’s agent Rudy Raba told Setanta Sports: “Portsmouth have called Tottenham. Now we are waiting for Tottenham to respond.”
Finally, according to the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace youngster John Bostock will join Spurs in a deal that could go up to £5m.
