“I think so,” Villas-Boas said. “That’s the information that I have from the club. It has come from the club.” “The club is committed to keeping the best assets.
“That’s the only way that we can ensure that we are in the top four every year. Gareth is part of that project bearing in mind that he has been amazing this season.
