Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has ruled out a possible move to sign sign a left back in the January transfer window, as reported by Sky Sports.
Belgian ace Jan Vertonghen has been playing in the left back position since first choice Danny Rose got injured and he has insisted he is not happy playing out of position as he prefers playing in the centre half.
Villas Boas has left Benoit Assou Ekotto out in the wilderness and he is currently on loan at Queens Park Rangers leaving Vertonghen as second choice left back ahead of right footed Kyle Naughton.
Villas Boas also dimissed a possible move for out of favour countryman Fabio Coentrao in the January.
“No, I don’t think so,” Villas Boas said.
“Danny Rose is still out but making good progress on his injury so we’re looking for a two or three-week period now finally for his return.”
“He (Vertonghen) is a central defender – one of the best in the world.
“Unfortunately, due to the situation at the moment, he has to sacrifice himself at left-back.
“He knows that as soon as Danny Rose comes back, the place as a centre-back is his again. The good of the team is more important at the moment.”
