It means that Daniel Levy will have to cast his net a little wider, and one manager who has also been linked with the post at White Hart Lane, former Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri, could hold an ace up his sleeve.

Tottenham’s long-suffering fans will be delighted just to see their side playing some free-flowing attacking football, and for that Sarri is renowned.
