Alvaro Pereira:
Villas Boas has also been linked to Inter Milan’s left back Alvaro Pereira, who has hardly started in the playing eleven for Inter this campaign. The crafty Uruguaya played a prominent role under him as a dominant Porto side claimed an astonishing run of a domestic and European treble in 2010/11. According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola Spurs have been given a go-ahead to pursue the defender and according to the same report Inter will let the defender leave on loan as he is keen to secure regular first-team football ahead of next summer’s World Cup in Samba Land, Brazil.
