Taiwo told to forget Spurs switch

Marseille president Jean Claude Dassier has ruled out the possibility of selling Taye Taiwo in the wake of reported interest from Tottenham. Spurs have been linked with Taiwo for a number of weeks and the Nigeria left-back went on record to say he would be interested in a move to the club.However, Dassier has now told the 25-year-old he is staying with the Ligue 1 champions, no matter what promises he may have been given by the former regime at Marseille."It's done. He's staying with Marseille. He's a top player and he should be staying here," said Dassier."I don't know if the old president promised that he could leave, but that's not me."Atletico Madrid are reported to have had a bid rejected for Taiwo earlier this summer, while recent speculation suggested Liverpool could also enter the race as they prepare to sell Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina.
