Michael Laudrup: 'I would turn down Tottenham Hotspur job'

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup has admitted that he is 'flattered' to be linked with the vacant managerial position at Tottenham Hotspur.

Laudrup is one of several names that have been mentioned as a replacement for Andre Villas-Boas, but the Dane has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Swansea in the middle of the season.

The 49-year-old told reporters: "It's always flattering when others are talking about you. Tottenham are a big club, but the only thing that I will say is that I would never leave a club in the middle of the season.

"I've never done that as a player and a manager, and it wont happen in the future either."

Ajax coach Frank de Boer is the favourite with several bookmakers to be offered the role at White Hart Lane.
