The Marseille striker has admitted that any move to north London is a long way off and declared that he is focused on working for his current club and their fans

Loic Remy has played down speculation linking him with a possible switch to Tottenham.

The Marseille forward admits he has spoken with his club’s hierarchy at Stade Velodrome, but concedes that any move is a long way off.

For now Remy is happy to help the club - champions of France in 2009-10 - in their efforts to improve upon their current eighth place in Ligue 1, though he admits that further talks about his future will be held in due course.

“For now it's not a reality,” he told Telefoot. “I spoke about it with president [Vincent Labrune] and Jose Anigo.

“Today, the fans really need me because we are in a delicate situation.

“My future? We will speak about it at the appropriate time.”

As Goal.com exclusively revealed in January, Remy’s agent Frederic Guerra feels the Marseille star would find it hard to turn down a move to Tottenham, while Spurs manager Harry Redknapp embarked on a personal scouting mission to watch Remy in action against Lille at the Stade Velodrome ahead of the close of the transfer window.

Remy, a striker who can also operate on the wings, has been described by Marseille manager Didier Deschamps as "fast and powerful with huge potential".

The 25-year-old France international began his career with Lyon and enjoyed a spell on loan at Lens before really coming to prominence with Nice between 2008 and 2010. He joined Marseille in August 2010 for a fee in the region of €15 million.
