Stewart Downing's representative insists his client has no intention of talking over a new contract with Middlesbrough after rejecting their previous offer. Boro and Spurs had failed to agree a deal with each other for the transfer.
"Stewart has made his position quite clear to all parties at Middlesbrough - the chairman, chief executive and Gareth Southgate in private, so we are surprised by comments released by the manager saying that he has been informed that he is staying and has accepted the situation," Downing's agent Ian Elliott revealed.
"Indeed he has two years left on his current contract, if he has to see out the remaining two years then so be it.
"We would point out that the previous offer from the club has been rejected out of hand, we will not enter into any further negotiations and the player will see out the two years and option his rights under freedom of contract at the end of it."
