The Spanish record goal-scorer, who has found game-time hard to come by at the Camp Nou this season, is said to be interested in a move to the Premier League.
Reports emerged from Spain this week suggesting that Spurs had held talks with Barcelona over a deal for the 31-year-old, with an agreement said to be close.
Speaking ahead of Tottenham's final game of the season against Sunderland, Villas-Boas said he was a fan of the Barcelona forward, but refused to get too carried away over the prospect of a deal being done.
"He is one of the world's best strikers," said Villas-Boas.
"What comes out of speculation at this time at Tottenham is very surreal because you know the club is very active in the last weeks of the transfer window, so you can see that speculation is growing - but at the moment we are focussed on trying to get fourth spot.
However the former Chelsea boss laughed off speculation linking his current side with a move for Croatian Ante Rebic - insisting he had never heard of the RNK Split forward before.
