Meanwhile, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has also been alerted to the Dutch stopper, and considered a bid to bring him to Stamford Bridge, before Petr Cech signed a new contract to remain in west London.
However, both clubs have now been dealt a blow in their respective pursuits, after Krul reaffirmed his commitment to Newcastle, insisting he has no desire to leave Tyneside.
"It's all just talk," he said in response to rumours linking him with Tottenham and Chelsea. "I've signed my five-year contract and I'm committed to Newcastle United.
"The club has not played in Europe for six years and I want to be a part of that.
"This club deserves European football. We've got everything; the stadium, the fans and an owner in Mike Ashley who's backing us."
