Berbatov will listen to offers in the summer, says his agent

Dimitar Berbatov's representative would want to discuss a move away from White Hart Lane for the Tottenham striker should an offer come in this summer.

Emil Dantchev, Berbatov's agent, has stressed the 27-year-old is happy at Spurs and also insisted there has been no contact with other clubs, after suggestions in Italy AC Milan were preparing a bid.

"If there is any interest there has been no contact with his club," Dantchev told setantasports.com.

"Milan is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and if there was interest we would discuss it with Dimitar.

"At the moment Dimitar is concentrating on doing his job with Tottenham. There is plenty of time until the transfer window."

Berbatov is thought to have two years remaining on his current deal after arriving from Bayer Leverkusen for the start of last season.

Head coach Juande Ramos has described him as the best player not currently playing in the Champions League and earlier in the season valued him higher than the current British transfer record of £30million.

Berbatov has since helped Spurs end their nine-year trophy drought by defeating Chelsea in the Carling Cup final, with the Bulgaria striker scoring the equaliser.

Dantchev added: "He is happy but what I know from my 25 years in football is that if a player is happy somewhere, it does not mean he cannot be happy somewhere else."

Ramos expects to hang on to Berbatov, and said last week: "We want him to stay and if nothing strange or untoward happens we think he will."

Spurs face Chelsea again tomorrow, in the Barclays Premier League, and Jonathan Woodgate believes Avram Grant's men will be seeking revenge.

Chelsea need the points for their title bid, while Spurs are looking to bridge the gap with 10th place and eventually break into the top half for the first time this season.

Woodgate, who scored the winner at Wembley against the Blues, said: "It will be a harder game than the final without a doubt and they will want to put that right.

"They are going for the league title, they've always been there and thereabouts and the race is still wide open. They've top players who are hitting form at the right time.

"But we always fancy ourselves to beat anyone, home or away and this is no different. We also want to put matters right after losing at Manchester City.

"When you are professional footballer you want to win as many games as you can and keep pushing up the league. We don't want to be in the bottom half of the table.

"We've nine games left, 27 points to play for and we'll be looking to win every game."
