Dawson rejects exit rumours.
Michael Dawson has responded quickly and angrily to rumours linking him with a move away from Tottenham. Recent speculation has put the centre back on a collision course with the club after a derisory contract extension was offered.
However, Dawson has moved quickly to allay fans fears by releasing a strong denial of the claims. Talking to the official Tottenham website, he said: “I have no idea where this story has come from – it certainly has not come from myself or any of my representatives.”
Dawson has been at Spurs since 2005 and signed his last contract in 2010 which expires in 2015.
