Freddie Kanoute has moved swiftly to deny reoprts that he is to miss five games through December and January. Mali boss Henri Stambouli had been interested in taking Spurs' top goalscorer to the African Nations Cup, bit it seems he forgot to ask one crucial person- Kanoute himself. The striker was baffled by the story and stated, 'I honestly don't know where this has come from, they should have contacted me'. This will be music to the ears of Spurs fans who would have been concerned about the striker's absence.
