The agent of Tottenham Hotspur defender Vlad Chiriches has stamped on speculation that his client could be heading to join Serie A side Fiorentina this summer.
Spurs bought the Romanian centre-back from Steaua Bucharest last year, as part of a spending spree launched with the proceeds raised from selling Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.
With Mauricio Pochettino now appointed as manager at Tottenham, there has been talk of a player exodus and Chiriches has been linked with the exit door.
However, agent Pietro Chiodi, attempting to put departure talk to bed, told Sky Italia: "I deny that there is currently a deal with Fiorentina or any other clubs for my client."
