Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas doesn't expect his summer transfer budget to change if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

The Portuguese has been told he will have money to spend this summer regardless of where Spurs finish.

Asked whether he would have different budgets depending on whether he achieved Champions League qualification, the Tottenham manager said: "No. At the moment our future must be analysed in only one direction.

"For us, the objective is always to improve the team and for that to happen either we have Champions League money to make it easier, or we have to invest and risk a bit more.

"But the objective is always to better what you did last season. We have to have one direction only."
