Andre Villas-Boas has described reports that he has held talks with Tottenham Hotspur over their managerial vacancy as "lies".

The former Chelsea boss is currently the favourite with many bookmakers to take over from Harry Redknapp, who was sacked by the club a fortnight ago.

However, the 34-year-old is adamant that he has held no discussions with anybody connected to Spurs.

"There is nothing, it is all lies," he told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.

The likes of David Moyes, Laurent Blanc and Roberto Martinez have also been linked with the post.
