Tottenham Hotspur's Andre Villas-Boas denies Willian bid

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas denies submitting an offer for Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder Willian.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has denied making a bid for Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder Willian.

It was recently reported that Spurs were ready to battle it out with Premier League rivals Liverpool for the 25-year-old Brazilian's signature.

When asked if the club have made a bid for Willian, Villas-Boas told reporters: "No, no. He is a player who I appreciate. He belongs to them and I respect them so I wouldn't like to extend myself too much."

Willian joined Anzhi from Shakhtar Donetsk in January for a fee of around £30m.
