AZ Alkmaar chief Max Huiberts has again denied claims of Tottenham being close to a deal for Vincent Janssen.
Reports in the British press have claimed a deal for Janssen to join Spurs could be concluded by the end of the week.
But Huiberts told Noordhollands Dagblad on Wednesday: "There is a lot of speculation and I read a lot of nonsense stories.
"We once received a bid from Tottenham Hotspur that we have not accepted. That's not so strange to me. It is not often that a club agrees immediately with a first offer.
"Then we heard nothing more".
