AVB: I love Spurs - but Levy tried to SELL me

Former Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has revisited his testing relationship with chairman Daniel Levy.

AVB revealed Levy attempted to "sell me" to PSG in 2013.

He recalled to the Telegraph: "PSG's bid was on the table. Yes, Daniel wanted to sell me for £15m.

"PSG obviously didn't want to pay £15m and there were a lot of things that didn't sit well with Paris Saint-Germain, especially their approach.

"And I decided to stay, for my love of Tottenham. I think Tottenham were waiting for me to leave and that's it.

"It was the beginning of a bad relationship (with Tottenham's management) before that (second) season. It's always details. At that time we were not happy with each other. I stayed at Tottenham for my love for Tottenham and Tottenham wanted me out. It was the end of a story and we parted with a very, very simple agreement."
