Moutinho: Heavily linked with Spurs

Moutinho is reported to have been lined up by Andre Villas-Boas as a replacement for Luka Modric, who is on the verge of joining Real Madrid after they agreed a £27.5million fee with Spurs.

Moutinho, who came on as a substitute in Porto's 1-0 victory against Academica de Coimbra in the Portuguese Supercup on Saturday, admitted that he would be open to a move, but says he has heard nothing at this time.

"I will continue to work," he told RTP. "If an offer arrives, and it is good for both parties, Porto will, of course, study it.

"I do not know if there is the possibility of joining Tottenham. Every player has the ambition to try new leagues, but I am at Porto and I will continue to work in the same way."

Moutinho, 25, who joined Porto from Portuguese rivals Sporting Lisbon in 2010 for €11m, has a €40m release clause attached to his contract, which runs out in 2015.

He was a key member of Villas-Boas' Porto side which won in the 2010-11 season the Portuguese Supercup, Portuguese League, Portuguese Cup and the Europa League.
