Villarreal defender Pau Torres 'rejects Tottenham because of lack of Champions League'

Tottenham have reportedly been dealt another snub in the transfer market after Villarreal defender Pau Torres turned down their advances.

Spurs are on the lookout for top class defensive recruitments following the recent signing of Cristian Romero from Atalanta, but have fallen short in their pursuit of Torres.

Reports in Spain via Marca claim that a Spurs bid in the region of £55million has been acknowledged by the LaLiga side who are willing to accept, but Torres has decided otherwise.
