In the money: Andre Villas-Boas is set to be handed bumper funds (Picture: Getty)

Andre Villas-Boas has been promised huge funds to improve his Tottenham side after turning down a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

Villas-Boas was approached by the Qatari-backed French champions over becoming their new manager, with a compensation package already being put to Spurs for his services.

But the 35-year-old, who is yet to manage more than one season at any club, turned down PSG’s advanced in order to focus on Tottenham.

And after pledging his future to the club, chairman Daniel Levy is ready to reward Villas-Boas with a bumper war chest of around £50million to improve his squad.


Brazilian duo Paulinho and Bernard are among the top targets, while a top-class centre forward remains a priority.

Bayern Munich’s Mario Gomez and the Valencia striker Roberto Soldado are both key options, but are likely to prove costly.

Spurs will part-finance any moves by selling off fringe first-team players, with 10 names having already been told they can go.

But the rest will come from Levy’s pocket, with the club keen to reward their young manager for his loyalty to the cause.

PSG meanwhile have zoned in on Fabio Capello, the former England manager, with his son and agent due in Paris for talks this week.
