Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng is "surprised" over interest from Tottenham.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly a long-time admirer of Boateng and German media have claimed that he could make a move in January.
"Nobody approached me, nobody spoke to me, I didn't know anything about it, I was surprised," he said.
Boateng was in August asked by the Guardian if he is open to a move back to England, replying that he “would not say no", adding: "I am definitely down for it, but I don't know for the future.
"You never know. But it's not that I would say: 'I never want to play there.' It's one of my favourite leagues for sure."
