"Inter has an important project to win Brasileirao, everybody's focused on that. I want to return to the team and keep playing.

"Not only Tottenham [asked about me], but I'm not sure if there was an official offer. Offers always come for me, [Leandro] Damiao and whoever is showing up."

Striker Damiao has also rejected rumours linking him to Tottenham as he plans to stay at the club until 2014.

The striker added: "I am thinking only of Internacional, I don't think I'm leaving, I've received no offers.

"If it's up to me, I'll stay until 2014."
