Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has dismissed speculation surrounding his future and reported interest from Chelsea by reiterating his desire to continue with his project at White Hart Lane.

When asked directly if being linked to the Chelsea job could cause any unrest at Spurs Pochettino told Press Association Sport: "No, I don't mind.

"We are supposed to receive the rumours and we are in a media that all is about rumours. But I don't care about that.

"It's the same with any rumours about players, there's a lot of names in the media now. My focus is here, to try for success at Tottenham and to work hard.

"That's all about rumours. I always work for the present and the future. I'm very happy here.

"We've created after 18 months a very good group, with a strong basis for success in the future and I'm very happy. My job is to be focused, not to hear rumours.

"The most important thing is that I'm focused on my job," he insisted.
