Andre Villas-Boas says Vlad Chiriches could lead a Romanian revolution at Tottenham
Spurs had scouts in attendance as Steaua lost to Chelsea 1-0 on Wednesday night to exit the Champions League, and the Portugese boss has admitted there is interest in bringing more Romanians to White Hart Lane.
He told talkSPORT: "There are a couple of Romanian players who are very interesting, particularly at Steaua [Bucharest], but I cannot mention them for obvious reasons.
"But I think there is always talent coming out of Romanian football. I think it’s always a market that we have to be aware of."
Spurs have been linked with a move for Steaua captain Alex Bourceanu in recent times and the 28-year-old has been called the Romanian Genaro Gattuso.
But it seems likely that Tottenham are also keeping tabs on a couple of rising stars with age on their side.
Nicolae Stanciu is an attacking midfielder who has impressed in the Champions League this season, and is adaptable enough to play on either flank as well as through the middle.
The 20-year-old has a £17m buy-out clause after signing a five-year deal with Steaua in March this year.
And Gabriel Iancu - who missed Steaua's best chance against Chelsea on Wednesday - is a 19-year-old left-sided attacking player who has previously had trials with Ajax.
Like Stanciu, Iancu signed a five-year deal with Steaua at the end of last year but has a buy-out clause set at £21m.
It now remains to be seen whether Spurs step up their interest in any of the trio in January or risk waiting until the summer when they could face greater competition from other clubs.

Andre Villas-Boas is following Romanian football with interest "There are a couple of very interesting players in Romania, especially in Steaua. But it is not a novelty, the Romanian football talent shows often.... names? For obvious reasons I can not do."
