Paris Saint-Germain target Andre Villas-Boas will reportedly stay on as Tottenham Hotspur manager after convincing chairman Daniel Levy to fund a trio of summer signings.

Andre Villas-Boas will reportedly reject any approach from Paris Saint-Germain to stay at Tottenham Hotspur and has finalised a three-man shortlist that will help him achieve his Champions League ambitions at Spurs.

The Portuguese boss has been linked with the managerial post at the Ligue 1 champions, who seem poised to lose current coach Carlo Ancelotti to Real Madrid.

It has been reported that the big-spending French outfit are happy to pay the £10m release clause that Villas-Boas has in his Lillywhites contract, signed when he replaced Harry Redknapp at the beginning of last season.

Chairman Daniel Levy is desperate to keep hold of the 35-year-old, who led Spurs to their highest-ever Premier League points total last campaign, and will fund a triple swoop for the former Chelsea manager's prime transfer targets, according to the Daily Mail.

Brazilian duo Paulinho and Leandro Damiao, of Corinthians and Internacional respectively, are attacking recruits that Levy hopes to have signed before the beginning of pre-season, while Barcelona's David Villa is another forward whom Villas-Boas wants to add to his squad.
