Andre-Villas Boas has reassured Emmanuel Adebayor that he is in his plans this season even though he is yet to start a game.

Reports this week said that Adebayor was looking for a move in January because of the lack of game time, however, Tottenham boss, Villas-Boas, has insisted that the striker is in his plans and will not be leaving the club.

The 28-year-old has been kept out of the side because of the fine form of Jermain Defoe and Boas admits that competition for places is important for the team.

“Obviously, every player wants to play, at the moment we are using the structure of one striker and Defoe has been doing extremely well,” Villas-Boas told Sky Sports News.

“I think Ade has done extremely well in the games where he has come in for the squad, certainly he is in contention for games where we play with two strikers.

“At the moment we haven’t found the comfort in that formation yet, but in the future when we use it, when we rotate the strikers he will be back in contention.”

When questioned about Adebayor possibly leaving White Hart Lane, Villas-Boas responded: “No, I don’t think so. I don’t think the club will be willing to let anyone go.”
