Christian Eriksen has had a stunning season with Tottenham, scoring 12 goals and providing 20 assists in all competitions.
This has led to rumours the Denmark international could be poached by Barcelona in the summer.
And his former Ajax boss Frank de Boer talked up his suitability for the Nou Camp last week.
However, the 25-year-old's agent Martin Schoots has denied Eriksen is eyeing a move to the La Liga Champions.

"I prefer not to comment on what the newspapers write about the future," Schoots told Danish newspaper BT.
"The only thing Christian wants to do is focus on playing his matches.
"We let the rumours be rumoured, even now, when Christian's merits as a player who sets up a goal are better than anyone else, and now he scores also very important goals.
"Christian just wants to be important for the team, it is the only thing that matters to him."
Speaking to Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet last month, De Boer said: "I think he can have a wonderful career.
"First Ajax, then Tottenham, and then the highest level. I think he's ready for a step higher.
"He has everything that a Barcelona player must have.He has an overview, he has a work ethic, and he kicks well with both feet."
Eriksen is under contract at White Hart Lane until June 2020 having signed a new long-term deal last September.
