Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has today emerged as a serious leading candidate for the Tottenham job.
Sportsmail can reveal that the Portuguese coach’s credentials now have the backing of chairman Daniel Levy and new Football Managing Director Fabio Parataci.
Tottenham have also been giving serious thought to the merits of Brighton boss Graham Potter this week but it is Nuno’s name that is currently being discussed most prominently.
