Robben camp react to Spurs talk

by Adam Marshall , 17 June 2009

Arjen Robben's father has blasted rumours that Tottenham are in talks with the Real Madrid winger, suggesting that the player will definitely not head for White Hart Lane.

Hans Robben, who also acts as the Dutch flyer's agent, has dismissed suggestions in the English press that the former Chelsea wide man is destined for a return to London.

Spurs are rumoured to be interested in snapping up any number of Real's squad players following the Spanish club's mass investment this summer, but Robben Snr has been quick to set the record straight.

"It is nonsense," he told Voetbal International. "Absolute nonsense.

"We are not talking with Tottenham. Moreover, we are talking with no single club at this moment.

"Naturally, that can change every day, but one thing is certain - Arjen will definitely not go to Tottenham."

Robben added that he knows nothing of any plans Real have for his son but he did speak with the new leaders of the Bernabeu outfit last week.
