Ivory Coast international Gervinho - linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur - has distanced himself from speculation linking him with a transfer away from Ligue 1 leaders Lille.

The in-demand attacker, who increased his value with the winner in Lille’s 1-0 win over Sochaux on Wednesday night, has insisted that he wants to enjoy the club's recent success and focus on his future at the end of the season.

Although a host of clubs are believed to be interested in the 23-year-old including a string of Europe’s top clubs, it is believed that Harry Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur are at the top of the list, with the White Hart Lane supremo believed to have watched Gervinho in the league leaders' recent French Cup victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
