Spurs: Slot thinks he can “fulfil” Premier League dream

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has recently been ruled out of the running to become Tottenham’s next manager, while Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso recently confirmed his intention to stay in the Bundesliga.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has also signed a new deal at Burnley after reports that Spurs were interested in appointing the Belgian, meaning Tottenham’s options are getting narrower.Recent claims suggest that the main contenders to succeed Conte at Spurs are Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Slot.

The Dutchman in particular is of serious interest to Tottenham as he has shot right to the top of Spurs’ managerial shortlist, with Levy believing he fits most of his criteria.

According to a report by London World, Slot could well be open to joining Spurs as Feyenoord plot to try and keep him.

The Eredivisie champions are ready to offer their manager a new deal and pay rise in the hopes of keeping him away from Spurs, but Slot “knows he can get more at Tottenham and fulfill his dream of managing in the Premier League.”

Furthermore, the Lilywhites board have scheduled talks with the representatives of Feyenoord’s manager – who is now topping the list of potential Conte replacements.

The 44-year-old has just clinched the Dutch league title, his first as a top flight manager, and his stock is growing pretty rapidly.

Dutch football experts, like Marcel van der Kraan, have called him a “maniac” whilst praising the coach’s ultra-attacking style.
