Pascal Chimbonda

Pascal Chimbonda has denied reports suggesting he does not care about Tottenham and that he is seeking a move to Newcastle.

Reports on Friday claimed Chimbonda had told friends that he was planning to leave Tottenham for Newcastle before the close of the transfer window and that he did not care about the North London club or the fact Spurs had reached the Carling Cup final.

Willie McKay, who brokered Chimbonda's move to Tottenham, says the Frenchman has informed him that he did not make any disparaging comments about the club.

"Pascal denies that he said to anyone that he does not care about Tottenham and that he is planning to move to Newcastle," McKay told skysports.com

"There is no hiding the fact that Pascal is frustrated because the club are looking at new full-backs to replace him, but he would not disrespect Tottenham or his team-mates by saying he does not care about the club.

"Pascal cares about Spurs, he cares about his team-mates, he cares about his football and he cares about his career.

"Even if he does move on Spurs will always have a place in his heart as will the fans.

"Anyone who thinks differently only has to look at his celebrations on the pitch after the win over Arsenal on Tuesday night and that proves everything."
