Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has underlined his commitment to the club amid rumours about a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Villas-Boas, who took over at White Hart Lane in July 2012, guided them to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League in his first season in charge.

Spurs narrowly missed out on a place in the UEFA Champions League but despite that failure, the Portuguese was reportedly high on PSG’s list of targets to replace the outgoing Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Laurent Blanc now looks set to take charge of the Ligue 1 champions and Villas-Boas, who has a good relationship with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi, has been quick to stress that his focus was only ever on Tottenham.

“I have had a friendship for some time with the president of PSG,” Villas-Boas told A Bola. “He is a friend and we speak regularly, but my commitment is with Tottenham.

“It was the club that allowed me to return to the Premier League and I feel good there.”
