I won’t force Berbatov to stay, pledges Ramos

TOTTENHAM boss Juande Ramos will not attempt to block a transfer for Dimitar Berbatov if the striker wants to leave White Hart Lane in the January transfer window.

Berbatov’s agent was in London his week to talk with sporting director Damien Comolli and the 26-year-old’s father has since suggested the Bulgaria international is unsettled.

Comolli and chairman Daniel Levy are expected to have the final say on whether he would be sold, but Ramos has made it clear he does not want players in his squad who do not want to be there. “I believe you can’t force players to stay in the team if they don’t want to,” said the Spaniard.
