Brighton boss Graham Potter has dismissed talk suggesting he could replace Antonio Conte as Tottenham head coach and has pointed an accusing finger at the media.
Potter has emerged as the favourite to take over at Spurs, should the Italian depart this summer. The Telegraph, have claimed the Seagulls manager is the frontrunner for the Tottenham Hotspur job if Conte decides to leave.
The Italian’s deal expires at the end of next season after he signed an 18-month contract in November. But he has refused publicly to commit to Spurs beyond this season.
Much of that will depend where Tottenham finish this season. And what sort of backing he receives from Daniel Levy in the transfer market.
French champions Paris St Germain though continue to be linked with the Italian.
Potter meanwhile has seen his stock rise again this season after he was linked with Spurs last summer.
He has guided the Seagulls to their highest Premier League points tally this term. And he underlined his credentials with a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United on Sunday.
And 46-year-old, whose Albion contract runs until 2025, has no thoughts of leaving the Amex Stadium.
“You guys (the media) sometimes put stuff in the newspapers that’s not exactly true,” said Potter.
“What can I say? It’s got to the point now where there’s not even a vacancy and you’re getting linked to it. I don’t know what to say.
“I’ve never said I want to leave at all.

“But I’ve always had the support of Tony (Bloom, Brighton owner) and the board and they’ve given me chance to work. So I’m grateful for that and I enjoy it here.”
