Good and bad: Kenwyne Jones has endured a mixed season at Sunderland

Future imperfect for Kenwyne Jones

20 May 2009


Kenwyne Jones refused to commit his future to Sunderland should the Black Cats drop out of the Barclays Premier League.

The north-east club head into the final round of fixtures still not safe from relegation should results go against them.

And Jones, who was the stand-out performer and goalscorer in Monday's 3-1 defeat at Portsmouth, said: "If we stay up I am definitely going to be here. If we go down I don't know what is going to happen.

"I can't say what is going to happen but, at the same time, I just have to work hard and do the best I can for Sunderland."

Tottenham, whose manager, Harry Redknapp, was at Southampton at the same time as Jones, made a bid for the Trinidad & Tobago international in the winter.

"Tottenham have been linked with me quite strongly for month upon month," Jones, 24, added in the Daily Mirror.

"I can't say I know what is going on there or whether it is just paper talk or what.

"I can only focus on the job I have now."

Tevez, Pandez, Jones....surely this is a pre-summer record even for the "buy anything and everything that moves" Tottenham. Redknapp the player-hoover and Tottenham-the-desperate are perfect bedfellows ...
