Tottenham transfer news: Liverpool's Adam Lallana rules out joining Spurs

1/23

Adam Lallana has ruled out leaving Liverpool for a summer transfer to Tottenham, but has heaped praise on Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino for his achievements at the club this term.

Lallana was this week reported to be a target for Pochettino, who worked with the England international at Southampton, with Spurs expected to strengthen their squad in the summer following a campaign in which they mounted a credible title challenge.

However, Lallana has insisted he is happy working under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield and says he wants to stay with the Reds and continue helping the club reach finals like the Europa League, which they will contest against Sevilla on Wednesday night.

When asked about the Tottenham rumours, Lallana said: "No, not for me. I've got three years left on my contract.

"It was only last season that people might have read I was leaving and thought, 'Yes, let's get him out.' But football changes very quickly and I'm really enjoying my football under this manager.

"I have always had a good relationship with Pochettino. I am delighted he has had a very good season and I wanted him to win the league. But it is going to be very difficult [to leave Liverpool].

"I am at a massive club here and playing some of my best football for the club, getting to cup finals; it is definitely just speculation."
