Andre Villas-Boas has assured Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy he intends to utilise his entire squad.

The Sunday Mirror says Villas-Boas is understood to have told Levy that he wants a big first-team squad so that he can rotate and rest players for different competitions.

Levy became frustrated with former boss Harry Redknapp's reluctance to use more players in the ­Premier League last season and partly blames that for their failure to hold on to third place and automatic ­qualification for the Champions League.
