SCHALKE keeper Manuel Neuer has played down rumours linking him with a summer switch to Spurs.

Tottenham boss Juande Ramos is believed to be in the hunt for a new stopper, as it is thought he remains unconvinced by England gloveman Paul Robinson.

While Espanyol keeper Carlos Kameni is believed to be the favourite to succed former Leeds man Robinson, 21-year-old Neuer's name has also been mentioned.

But the German Under-21 international - who has been in superb form in the Bundesliga this season, and put in a memorable performance in Schalke's recent UEFA Champions League shoot-out win over Porto - has ruled out the rumours suggesting he could be heading for White Hart Lane.

"I haven't heard anything about it," Neuer told Bild of the speculation. "If it were true then I would be flattered, but my heart is here at Schalke and I'm not wasting any thoughts on any other clubs."
