LONDON — Two months is a long time in the Premier League. At the beginning of November, when rumors started that Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov was unhappy at the club, the Bulgarian's agent, Emil Dantchev, was quick to pour cold water on them.
Damien Comolli, the Tottenham sporting director, said: "I met with Dimitar's agent and he assured me Dimitar is not looking for a move in January. He is on a long-term contract with us and (coach) Juande Ramos sees him as an important part of our plans."
Earlier this week, Dantchev had changed his and presumably Berbatov's mind. Dantchev said he had spoken to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy about his client's future, adding that his player wanted to join a club with a chance of winning silverware.
