Spurs are in the hunt for a new keeper after seeing summer signing Heurelho Gomes struggle to adapt to life in the English top-flight.
With former Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp now in charge at White Hart Lane, Pompey's England international David James has been touted as a possible target.
Now Given has also been mentioned, but the Magpies shot-stopper insists he has no desire to bring his 11-year stint at St James' Park to an end.
"They have spent money on a goalkeeper already so I don't think they are going to spend any more," he said.
"I'm sure that when Heurelho Gomes gets his confidence back he'll be a very, very good goalkeeper again.
"I wouldn't want to leave Newcastle anyway, I'm very happy where I'm at."

"Given at MU would be good for MU and Given, and I would not hold a grudge. Top quality players should have 'wins' to look back on and he would get that at MU, but Spurs.... that's really a step upwards isn't it..."
