Tottenham Hotspur reject Blackburn Rovers' Tim Sherwood approach?

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly refused to let technical coordinator Tim Sherwood leave the club for Blackburn Rovers.

The former Spurs midfielder is believed to be a target for the Championship club, who are in the hunt for a new boss following the resignation of Steve Kean last week.

It is understood that Levy has rejected an official approach from the Lancashire club for Sherwood, which was lodged on Sunday, according to the Daily Mail.

The 43-year-old currently works with the North London club as part of the outfit's youth development.
