Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Joao Moutinho says that he would be happy to work under Andre Villas-Boas.

Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho believes that Andre Villas-Boas has what it takes to be a success at Tottenham Hotspur.

The ex-Chelsea boss is expected to be announced as the new manager of Spurs next week.

Reports claimed yesterday that Villas-Boas was keen for Moutinho, whom he worked with at Porto, to join him at White Hart Lane.

The 25-year-old Portugal international has hinted that he would welcome a reunion with his former mentor.

"AVB is one of the best coaches I've worked with. I'd work with him again tomorrow," Moutinho told The Sun. "I don't really know what happened at Chelsea, but when you employ a new coach you have to give him time.

"You can't always base his progress on results. If players are obstructive it makes the job very difficult. Perhaps in the end he was judged more on immediate results than he was on his long-term vision.

"All I do know is he did a fantastic job at Porto."

Moutinho has been capped 48 times at senior international level.
