Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is unsure whether Dimitar Berbatov will still be at White Hart Lane when the transfer window closes at the end of January.

The Bulgaria international has struggled to find his best form this season after enjoying a fine debut campaign with the club, and was linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer.

Levy told the Daily Telegraph: "It's always difficult talking about individual players when we're coming up to a transfer window.

"I don't expect any of our first-team players to be leaving in January and I very much hope they'll be here in the summer.

"But the summer is a long way off and a lot can happen between now and then. No one person is bigger than the club. This is a team.

"I very much hope Dimitar will be here at the start of next season but I hope that for most of our players."

Levy has also said that he believes Spurs would have been relegated if they had not decided to axe Martin Jol in October.

Former Sevilla manager Juande Ramos has replaced Jol and Spurs' results have improved since his arrival.

Levy added: "We wanted Martin to succeed. The outside publicity was unfortunate but, in the end, it comes down to results.

"You can't have a situation where everybody is talking about finishing in the top four and then being in the bottom three.

"You cannot afford to take the risk that you may end up in a very, very bad situation. No club is too big to be relegated.

"We just weren't winning at all and you could look at the players, and there was a point when I think Martin had lost the confidence of the players. That happens in football."
