Sergio Aguero to Tottenham: Manager responds to rumours amid reports Arsenal are keen
TOTTENHAM are not interested in signing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, insists Mauricio Pochettino.
Sergio Aguero's 3 best goals for Manchester City
Reports emerged in Spain claiming Spurs could be tempted into making a bid for the Argentina frontman amid claims Aguero could look to leave City.
The 28-year-old has not been guaranteed a starting place in manager Pep Guardiola’s side and has not scored in over a month.
Express Sport understands Guardiola is seeking to implement major changes at City, with Aguero is possible casualty to any proposed squad overhaul.

Not true, 100 per cent not true
Spurs were linked, while Arsenal and Chelsea have also been mooted as supposed suitors of City’s star player.
But when asked about his interest in the Argentine, compatriot Pochettino said yesterday: "Not true, 100 per cent not true."
Tottenham are hopeful Harry Kane will have recovered from an ankle injury by the time they ace Arsenal in the north London derby next Sunday.
Pochettino invested £17million in AZ striker Vincent Janssen this summer, meaning a bid for Aguero is even less likely.
Aguero remains a key figure for Argentina
As for Arsenal, bookies Ladbrokes have slashed the price of Aguero moving to the Emirates from 16/1 to 6/1.
However, Real Madrid remain favourites to land the former Atletico Madrid ace if he decides to quit City.
Sky Sports claim Chelsea are also keen on the forward, despite manager Antonio Conte signing Michy Batshuayi from Marseille over the summer.
Diego Costa has scored seven league goals for the Blues this season, with Batshuayi (1) the only other recognised striker to get on the goalscorer charts.
