Rafael van der Vaart not in contact with Hamburg

Tottenham Hotsput midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has insisted that he has had no contact from Hamburg over a possible transfer.

The Dutch international has been linked with a switch away from White Hart Lane this summer, with reports suggesting that the 29-year-old is a top target for the German side.

"I am happy and I am surprised myself how much I still love Hamburg, currently however there is no contact," Van der Vaart told Bild.

The Dutchman, who experienced a disappointing campaign with his national side at Euro 2012, moved to Tottenham from Real Madrid in 2010.
