Tottenham head coach Juande Ramos has moved quickly to quash speculation over the future of Ledley King at White Hart Lane.

Ramos has issued a clarification after he was quoted on Thursday as saying "we'll have to wait and see if he is here next season" when discussing the injury-plagued player's captaincy at the club.

This led to intense speculation, but Ramos says he fully expects the player to be at Spurs at the start of next season.

The Spaniard told the club's official website on Friday: "Today's newspapers have made a great deal out of my comments concerning Ledley King, which were made in relation to him remaining as club captain next season.

"So there is no misunderstanding, Ledley is handling his recovery well and we fully expect him to be here at the start of next season."
