The Holland international arrived at the Nou Camp from PSV in January but has struggled to force his way into Pep Guardiola's first team. Spurs are thought to have made the 25-year-old a target this summer, with reports suggesting they have tabled an offer. And while Afellay insists he is focused on Barca, the Dutchman stopped short of denying that Tottenham have made a bid. Asked if the speculation was true, he told AS: "Look, if there is anything that is clear it's that rumours are part of football and we must learn to live with them, but now I'm just focused on Barcelona. "I'm aware (of the reports) because I read the information arriving from England. People call you and say they have seen such a thing." Afellay, who is tied to a four-and-a-half-year contract at Barca, has also reportedly attracted interest from Juventus and Lazio this summer. But the midfielder insists he is happy with the European champions and keen to secure more regular first-team action. "It's perfect. I feel happy. On a sporting level, I hope to express my potential," he added. "Playing more is my intention, of course. I want to play as much as possible."
