Spurs fans would have been incensed by those rumours because Campbell has been accused of deserting the club ever since his infamous move across north London to rivals Arsenal eight years ago.
"Some people are already claiming I am now going to sign Sol. Well, let's nail that one straight away because it ain't going to happen," the Spurs boss said in his weekly article for the Sun newspaper.
"I said during the summer that, if I was the boss of any other Premier League club, I'd sign Sol like a shot.
"That statement still applies today. But there is no way in the world Sol is ever going to play for Spurs again.
"There is simply too much bad feeling towards him from the fans at White Hart Lane.
"It would be too much hassle for him, for me and the club. Anyway, I couldn't sign him even if I wanted to because of the regulations.
"Sol is now a free agent but Premier League clubs can't sign any players unless they were out of contract in the transfer window."
