Tottenham rule out Sigurdsson and Defoe transfers

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jermain Defoe have been told they will be a part of Tottenham's first team plans this season. Andre Villas-Boas has reassured both players that they have an important role to play at White Hart Lane.

Jermain Defoe had been linked with a move to Besiktas last week, whilst Sigurdsson has struggled to reproduce the form that made him a star at Swansea City two seasons ago.


Andre Villas-Boas told the Daily Express: "They are players we count on 100 percent. Sigurdsson is completely in our plans. Defoe is a hero for Tottenham and has been doing well. He faces competition which he has always faced during his career."
