/Football on Youtube brings you the latest football news, transfer rumours and footballing gossip from the English Premier League and European Champions League.<br /><br />Spurs have only Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and youngster Harry Kane at their disposal in the forward department, and had been expected to reinforce before the transfer window closes. <br />'Leandro is a fantastic player that I know of. He's someone I went to see in Brazil,' said Villas-Boas, before adding that Spurs 'are not looking for a striker now'. <br />He did however, confirm his interest in Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Willian, who has been linked with a £20million move to White Hart Lane.<br /><br /><br />'Willian is a player that I was interested in last year, he's an extremely talented player. <br />'I wouldn't want to go very deep [into it] because I feel it would be disrespectful to Shakhtar and it's a club I have good relations with. When I was at Chelsea I had interest in the player.' <br />Despite rumours of an exit, England striker Defoe will stay at the club, Villas-Boas added.<br />'I spoke to his agent two days ago and conversations have been extremely productive. <br />'The player is a player I have extreme confidence in... I hope he will be a Tottenham player in the future.' <br />The Portuguese also confirmed that Michael Dawson had been given permission to talk to QPR about a transfer across London. <br />'We will listen to offers but if the scenario at the end of transfer window ends up with Michael staying it would be an extreme privilege for us,' he added. <br />He said Dawson was in contention for Saturday's clash with West Brom, as things stand, and he could be needed as Younes Kaboul is struggling with a knee injury.
