Spurs boss AVB has no problem Defoe in contact with Toronto FC coach Nelsen

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas insists he has no problem with Toronto FC coach Ryan Nelsen being in regular contact with Jermain Defoe.

Nelsen, who played for Spurs in Harry Redknapp's final six months at the helm, lavished praise on Defoe during an interview this week, admitting he would be an "unbelievable" signing for the Canadian club.

Villas-Boas says he is not concerned at Nelsen's revelation that he regularly speaks to his former Tottenham team-mate.

"I'm fine with this," the Portuguese said.

"I have no problem (with it). In the end situations like this can happen."
