Jol adamant Berbatov is staying

Tottenham boss Martin Jol is "100% convinced" Dimitar Berbatov will remain at White Hart Lane - despite the player's agent claiming he is due to have talks with the Spurs hierarchy later this week about renewed interest from Manchester United.

The Red Devils have denied making a bid for the Bulgaria international, although Sir Alex Ferguson is a known fan and did make one tentative inquiry for the 26-year-old early in the summer.

However, Jol remains determined to keep the former Bayer Leverkusen star, who scored 23 times in his debut campaign with the north London club, and insisted: "I said on Friday I would rather die than sell Berbatov. Hopefully, I won't die. I am 100% convinced he will stay at the club."
