The Argentine coach says he will not leave the club this summer

"Many rumours but I have a commitment with Spurs and no reason to leave"

Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino has promised that he will still be at the club at the beginning of next season. 

The Argentine has steered Spurs to a second placed finish in the Premier League, behind Chelsea, and is one of Europe's most coveted coaches. 

However, he told a press conference on Wednesday he has not plans to leave and there's no buyout clause in his contract. 

"There is no buyout clause in my contract," the 45-year-old said. "I will stay here next season.

"Many, many rumours but I have a commitment with Tottenham and no reason to leave the club.

"I will stay here, don't worry. I'll be here on July 3 for preseason. You'll see, I'll be here. Don't worry."

Tottenham's success has seen some of their players draw attention from bigger clubs, with Dele Alli, Kyle Walker and Christian Eriksen all linked with summer moves. 

But Pochettino says the London club will not sell anyone they don't want to. 

"All the players that we want to stay here next season will stay and maybe some the players we have offers for and we decide to sell," the former Espanyol coach added.

"That is our decision. All the players are in contract with the club -- always it will be a club decision to keep or sell the players.

"Everyone has a contract. We have the same opinion about all. We'll decide when we finish the season. Maybe some players gone, some others arrive, some other players stay."
