Tottenham can attract top players based on our history

Andre Villas-Boas believes there is more to attracting top talent to a club than just the lure of Champions League football.

The Spurs boss is confident that the history of the club along with our new £45million state-of-the-art training ground, will be enough to attract top stars this summer.

Barcelona’s David Villa is one of Europe’s top strikers who has been linked with a move to the Lane this summer.

AVB told a press conference: “I’m not sure (Champions League qualification) is that key because Tottenham has a great tradition in football, it has conditions that other clubs don’t have but equally these facilities.

“And I think we have a group of players that attract other players to come here. They are good quality players and other players, in bigger or same level squads, would want to join up and play with them.”
