HONG KONG: Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas  said yesterday that he wants to add more new signings to his squad, after swooping for Belgium frontman Nacer Chadli.

A Tottenham squad that included Gareth Bale landed in Hong Kong ahead of their clash with Sunderland in the Barclays Asia Trophy tomorrow.

There has been speculation linking Welsh wing wizard Bale with a big-money move away from White Hart Lane, but Villas-Boas said he was looking at bolstering his side.

“We will continue to do our market and we have not stopped yet, for sure,” said Villas-Boas, who is reportedly chasing at least one more striker. 

The Portuguese has so far brought in the Brazilian forward Paulinho and the international Chadli is poised to join from the Dutch side FC Twente.

“Chadli’s a player we’ve been following for quite some time and we managed to strike a deal in the last few days,” said Villas-Boas, whose side narrowly missed out to rivals Arsenal last season for a prized spot in the Champions League. AFP
