AVB: One defender will leave Spurs

Andre Villas-boas admits that one of his central defenders will not be at Tottenham Hotspur next season.

It doesn’t take a detective to work out that it will be William Gallas who will be packing his bags. Vertonghen only recently signed, Caulker is showing great potential, Kaboul is arguably AVB’s first-choice defender and AVB admits himself it would have been a mistake to sell Michael Dawson.

Gallas is out of contract at the end of the season and there has been speculation linking him with QPR.

AVB told the press: “We started this season with five central defenders because of an injury to Younes Kaboul but this is not normal.

“I can tell you that we will not be starting next season with five – it will be four.”
