Tottenham Hotspur head coach Juande Ramos remains uncertain whether star striker Dimitar Berbatov will play for the club again.

The 27-year-old Bulgaria international, who has scored 46 goals in two seasons at White Hart Lane, is rumoured to be close to agreeing a move to Manchester United.

However, Ramos has praised his player for remaining focused during pre-season training.

He said: "I will wait until the final training session and see how he is in training, that's when I will make a decision on that.

"He's an excellent pro, he's been working totally independently to anything that might be happening outside the football and any speculation has been dealt by his agent. He's just been getting on with things professionally in training.

"If you ask any manager, they always want their best players available, Dimitar is no different.

"He is a great player and is carrying himself superbly well through this and we want him to stay, but if it is my personal opinion, I have no preference one way or another. You have to go with what is happening.

"He's our player, he is at our club and he is a fantastic player, it would be great for him to stay."
