Spurs boss Pochettino insists he's not pushing Soldado out the door

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino denies he's seeking to sell Roberto Soldado.

The striker has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen.

But Pochettino insists: "I am happy with him. I am the same as before. All players are in my plans and (there is not) any news.

"I expect all players to be here because we have ahead a lot of games. We are still in four competitions and I think that we need a strong squad to take on all games that we have in the future."

Pushed to confirm Soldado was not for sale, Pochettino retorted: "Any player is (not) for sale. Any player.

"We want to keep all players because we need all players, a strong squad.

"No more comment about that because I repeat always the same: I am happy with the squad."
