The 27-year-old has been repeatedly linked with an exit from the Nou Camp this summer, with Tottenham's Spanish coach Juande Ramos reportedly one of those interested in his services.

But assistant boss Poyet denied Spurs were looking to launch a bid for the Cameroon international, while adding that the club directors would be discussing their transfer targets for the summer next week.

"Samuel Eto'o is not a priority for our team. Moreover, we're not interested in him," Poyet told Spanish radio station Ona FM.

He added: "We'll be having a meeting next week to talk about signings, as we've already made an interesting one for next season."

Tottenham landed Croatia star Luka Modric from Dinamo Zagreb in a 16.5million deal.

Last week Barcelona president Joan Laporta admitted that Eto'o may be one of the star players to leave the club as they look to enter a new era under new coach Pep Guardiola.
