"I bought a newspaper and saw the rumours linking Martin Petrov with Tottenham," said Berbatov said, who scored twice for Bulgaria in their Euro 2008 qualifier victory against Belarus at the weekend.

"I am pleased to see this but these things will be decided on a much higher level than me and him. It is always a good thing to have a compatriot with you but for the moment things remain as they were before.

"Is there are real chances of him joining us at Spurs? Nothing is impossible in football nowadays. We will see."
