Sky Sports sources understands Tottenham are considering offers for Gareth Bale from more than one club and insist they have yet to agree a deal with Real Madrid.
"We've gone on with our business," Villas-Boas said when asked about Bale following the 1-0 win over Swansea. "Gareth, unfortunately for us, hasn't been part of our squad, but we have a big squad to choose from. "This team can only develop and we look forward towards the future. "With Gareth or without, we can be stronger." Carlo Ancelotti would not be drawn into discussing Bale at his latest news conference on Sunday as he kept his focus on Real Madrid's next game. "I don't like to speak for two reasons, first of all because Gareth Bale is not a player of Real Madrid at this moment, and also because I need to have respect for my players," said Ancelotti. "They are here and we are focusing on our game tomorrow. "I know that at this moment it is easy to talk about the market because it is very close to the end. "I do hope the Monday deadline will arrive very soon."
