His 21 goals has led to inevitable speculation about a move to a club at the top of the Premiership, a year after Manchester United were interested in buying him from Bayer Leverkusen. Jol lost Michael Carrick to United last summer but the Dutchman is confident of keeping Berbatov.

"I have no fears - from anybody or any circumstances," said Jol. "The chairman wouldn't sanction it, even if I'd like to. We keep our best players 99% of the time over the last five or six years. I don't see any reason why we should. We made a lot of profit over the last six months and we don't have to sell players."

Berbatov is the latest striker to capture the hearts of Spurs fans. Klinsmann had two spells at White Hart Lane and before him was Gary Lineker and Clive Allen, the latter is still at the club as development coach.

Jol believes Berbatov can become a legend of the club if he plays his part in a successful era. He said: "Klinsmann was here in '98 and they were almost relegated. So what is a legend?

"Clive Allen scored 49 in a season. There is still a lot to improve with the team and with Dimitar, he can score 30 or 35 goals in all competitions. There is a lot more to come because he's such a good finisher."
