But Tottenham's inconsistent league form and second-round exit from the UEFA Cup has made him have a change of heart. Berbatov admitted on Bulgarian television that he is desperate to play in the Champions League and is worried he is running out of time.
However, Spurs denied there has been any problem with contract talks. A spokesman said: "Dimitar still has two years on his contract with an option for another two years and is on one of the best packages at the club."
