Sulley Ali Muntari

Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari has strongly refuted reports that he is set to leave the club in January to join Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25-year-old is struggling to kick into gear this term after an impressive first year at the San Siro and was resoundingly jeered off the pitch last weekend during the Beneamata’s 2-1 win over Udinese.

The Italian and English media are suggesting that the Nerazzurri are in talks with Tottenham over a deal to take the Ghanaian to London in January.

“I have not heard anything about this transaction, I honestly don’t know anything about it,” Muntari told Sky Sport 24 as he left Appiano Gentile on Thursday.

“I only know that I am an Inter player. All my energies are devoted to this team because I am under contract with them.

“Therefore, it is pointless to talk about other sides. Would I enjoy going back to England? I am settled in Italy.”

Muntari spent the 2007-08 season in the Premier League with Portsmouth. Previously, he had enjoyed a five-year spell at Udinese.
