Agent insists no Spurs contact for Simeon Slavchev: But will listen to offers

The agent of Litex Lovech winger Simeon Slavchev says there's been no contact with Tottenham.

Spurs have been linked with the exciting Bulgarian talent through their sports director Franco Baldini, who has been a fan of Slavchev since his time in charge of AS Roma.

Matthijs Lambregts told tribalfootball.com: "We have not been contacted by a Tottenham official.

"This season Simeon has scored 11 goals in 18 matches and has made it to the national A team so it is obvious that several clubs from the top leagues in Europe are paying attention to him."

Lambregts says Slavchev, who is being linked with Spurs, Roma and Zenit St Petersburg this week, would be willing to listen to offers from bigger clubs, though his focus remains on helping Litex Lovech to success this season.

"Simeon has a contract with Litex until the end of the May 2015 so there is no need to contact the player as long as there is no agreement between clubs regarding a transfer fee. In the event that a club has an interest they should contact Litex.

"It is obvious that he has the ambition to join a team participating in one of Europe's top leagues but for now his focus is on Litex."
