Premier League: Tottenham deny Frank De Boer approach

Tottenham say it is "wholly inaccurate" that they have contacted Ajax Amsterdam over the availability of head coach Frank de Boer. However, a spokesman for the Dutch club stated that Spurs had made an enquiry. "Reports we have made approaches to other clubs regarding coaching staff are wholly inaccurate," a Tottenham replied. "We've not contacted any club regarding coaching appointments. We regret that a statement such as this is necessary." The Ajax representative had said that Spurs approached their director of football Marc Overmars by telephone. Current manager Tim Sherwood, who succeeded Andre Villas-Boas in December, is under contract until the end of the 2014-15 season but the club are expected to review his progress at the end of the season. Frank De Boer led Ajax to a fourth consecutive Dutch title since he took over in 2010. The former Ajax defender is the first manager in the Dutch top flight to win four consecutive championships. He has a contract with Ajax until 2017 but he revealed in an interview that he would consider a move to Tottenham: "I'm going to listen and talk. Then I'll make my feelings known." He has also revealed that he turned down an offer from Tottenham immediately after Villas-Boas was sacked and that he also declined talks with Liverpool earlier.
