Andre Villas-Boas’ goal to bring Champions League football to Tottenham could be helped with the possible signing of FC Basel winger Mohamed Salah for £15million, according to the Daily Mail.

Tottenham had the opportunity to sign Salah earlier in the year, but, Villas-Boas declined the offer, as he wanted the young starlet to continue with his progress,  but now the Tottenham scouts saw his performance against Chelsea last month, a deal could be back on the table.

Salah, 21, who can play as a winger/striker, could cause headaches for AVB as he has got the likes of Aaron Lennon, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Andros Townsend, Mousa Dembele and Nacer Chadli to choose from as his creative options in midfield.

Salah has scored three goals in 13 appearances so far this season for Basel, which includes the equalising goal against Chelsea, in the first Champions League group game of this season, which of course Basel famously won at the Bridge, 2-1.
