Julian Draxler has dismissed reports linking him with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window.
The 25-year-old did not enjoy the most successful campaign in the 2018-2019 season, scoring just three goals in Ligue 1 and struggling to find his best form.
He made nine fewer appearances in all competitions than he did last season for the French champions, and it looked as though his time at Parc de Princes may have been coming to an end.
But Draxler says he has had no thoughts about leaving the French capital, and seems determined to stay and fight for his place in the team.
Speaking to German publication Bild , Draxler said: "I cannot say anything about that, because I have no intention of leaving the club.
“I have heard nothing from the club [in regards to leaving]. I have not talked to anyone, I know nothing."
The news will come as a blow to Tottenham , as Draxler was on their list of potential summer transfer targets, with Mauricio Pochettino looking to add to his squad having not signed anyone since Lucas Moura from PSG in January 2018.
He would have certainly added a winning experience that the Spurs team seems to lack at the moment. Draxler was part of the Germany team that won the World Cup in 2014, and has also tasted Ligue 1 success twice with PSG, both this season and in 2017-2018.
If Spurs do fail in their bid for Draxler they are likely to step up in their pursuit of Real Betis' Giovani Lo Celso.
They have allegedly already made a bid in the region of £53m for the Argentinean attacking midfielder, but the Spanish club are hoping to get at least £20m more on top of that.
The Champions League finalists have also been linked with the likes of Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon and Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes.
