Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has reaffirmed his commitment to the club while denying reports of a buy-out clause in his contract.

The Argentine, who joined Spurs on a five-year deal in May 2014, has been linked with the likes of Inter Milan and Barcelona following three impressive seasons at the club.

This comes in spite of Pochettino's contract renewal in May of last year, with the 45-year-old set to stay in north London until 2021.

Speaking ahead of his side’s trip to Leicester on Thursday night, the coach insisted that he remains “committed” to Tottenham.

"There are many rumours, but I am committed with the club," he said.

"There is no reason to leave. I will be here for pre-season. There is no buy-out clause in my contract, I will stay here next season.

"On July 3, for pre-season, I will be here, don't worry."

Earlier in the season, speculation grew that Pochettino was being considered for the soon-to-be vacant manager's job at Barcelona after he met with the club's president.

However, Pochettino later said the position would be "impossible" for him to take as a former Espanyol coach.

"I'm an Espanyol supporter - I think then I don't need to speak too much," he said, highlighting the rivalry with city neighbours Barca.

Pochettino has seen his stock rise in recent years, having guided Tottenham to the Champions League for the first time in six years as well as second place in the Premier League this season - Spurs’ highest top-flight finish since 1963.
