Berbatov grateful to Spurs
Dimitar Berbatov is 'very happy' at Spurs and is staggered by his £40m valuation.
Dimitar Berbatov says he is 'very happy' at Tottenham Hotspur and is staggered by his reported £40million valuation.The Bulgarian striker moved to White Hart Lane last summer in a near £11m deal from Bayer Leverkusen and impressed in his debut season in the Premier League.
He has been courted by Manchester United, with the champions reportedly willing to pay £40m to secure his signature.
Berbatov is amazed by his value in the transfer market, but is not looking to engineer a way out of Spurs after admitting he is 'stupendously grateful' to the club.
"Look, last summer when Spurs told me they were willing to pay £11m for me, I asked them if they were off their heads," Berbatov told the Sun.
"Now the word seems to be that my value is £40m and that's simply an abnormal sum of money.
"The paradox is that I scored more goals and played even better when I was with Leverkusen, but no way was I valued this highly.
"The truth is everyone in the world of English football seems to look at things quite differently to what I am used to.
"With regards to the whole Manchester United business, I just have to say that I'm very happy at Spurs.
"Even more importantly, I recognise that Tottenham has given me everything in order to make my time in the Premier League a success and I feel stupendously gratefully to them.
"So I'm happy where I am."
