Tottenham are in advanced negotiations with former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte about becoming their new manager.
Chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici are moving quickly to secure a replacement following Nuno Espirito Santo's sacking on Monday after four months in charge.
Conte, 52, will hold face-to-face talks later on Monday, with an announcement possible as early as Tuesday.
The Italian left Inter Milan in May just weeks after winning Serie A.
He won the Premier League and FA Cup at Chelsea but was sacked in July 2018 after a disappointing second year in charge.
