Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas insists that he is willing to risk not buying a new striker in January.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that he is willing to risk not buying a new striker in the January transfer window.

Spurs are currently without Emmanuel Adebayor as he plays at the Africa Cup of Nations with Togo, while Jerman Defoe recently suffered an ankle knock in training.

"We are happy with the options we have, but we understand injuries can put us in a difficult position," Villas-Boas told reporters.

"I think, as I have told you before we are comfortable. It (not signing anyone) is a risk we are willing to take."

Tottenham slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Championship side Leeds United in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
