Andre Villas-Boas believes bale’s star power will encourage other top players to join Spurs.

After a stellar season which has seen the Welsh star win both the player and young player of the year awards, Andre Villas-Boas hopes that other top European players will be drawn to White Hart Lane.

While Champions League football may not be accomplished this season, the lure of playing with one of the worlds best players is something that the Spurs boss thinks will make the team better next season.

“I think the more strong your squad is, the better, and the fact that we have Gareth achieving those individual awards this season is obviously something that other players will recognise as important moving

Andre Villas-Boas’ infatuation with the Europa League is understandable. The Portuguese is the youngest manager ever to win a UEFA club competition, after claiming the title during his unbeaten season with Porto.

But the Spurs boss must recognise that the Premier League is a far tougher place than Portugal’s Primiera Liga.

Unlike Chelsea, Spurs are unlikely to have to squad to fight effectively on four fronts next season, and Villas-Boas must take a more measured approach to the Europa League, should Spurs, as expected, miss out of the

Do not talk to Tottenham Hotspur fans about the club's capacity to fall short.

André Villas-Boas says that he wants Tottenham Hotspur to appoint a technical director in order to make them bigger players on the transfer market. The Roma general manager Franco Baldini, who previously held a similar post alongside Fabio Capello in the England setup, is the favourite for the job.

Should Arsène Wenger lose his formidable record of 15 straight seasons in the Champions League and be beaten to the fourth qualifying spot by Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday , the hit will be tougher in football terms than financially.

For André Villas-Boas's side, if they beat Sunderland at home and Arsenal fail to beat Newcastle away, a return to the Champions League will make a greater financial difference. Extraordinary as it seems, Spurs make fully £100m less income than the club with whom their fans most closely wish to compare themselves. The booming cash from the
