Garcia to Spurs talk cools

Espanyol president Daniel Sanchez Llibre insists Luis Garcia is not on the verge of moving to Tottenham.
Reports earlier in the week suggested the 27-year-old was set to seal a switch to Juande Ramos' side, but Sanchez Llibre says he has not received any offers for the highly-rated forward.
"There has been much discussion in recent days, but the club has not received any offers for this player," he said.
"We haven't spoken to anyone and for me the bid is only genuine if a club gets in touch with us directly.
"If everything that came out in the media happened then virtually the entire squad would be sold."
Garcia was the top-scorer for the Barcelona-based club in La Liga last season and was reported to be close to sealing a £5million switch to White Hart Lane.
Ramos has also been linked with fellow Espanyol team-mates Carlos Kameni, Daniel Jarque and Albert Riera this summer.
