Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has confirmed that Tottenham have not made an approach for Roberto Martinez.
Tottenham have parted ways with boss Harry Redknapp after four years in the job.
Latics boss Martinez was immediately among those to be linked with the vacant manager's position at White Hart Lane, along with the likes of Everton's David Moyes and former Chelsea chief Andre Villas-Boas.
However, Whelan has been quick to dismiss any talk of an approach by the London club for the Spaniard and insists he would not encourage any contact.
"I have not been approached, and Roberto has not been approached," Whelan told ESPN.
"He is so honest that he would tell me the minute that he has.
"I think it's pie in the sky that Spurs want Roberto. It seems that way as they have made no approach.
"That's not to say that they won't, but I hope that Spurs go for David Moyes and leave us alone."
