Tottenham are facing an anxious wait to discover whether Antonio Conte wants to become their new manager.
Talks between Spurs and the Italian are underway, but it is understood Conte has reservations about the club’s ambition.
Conte is now chairman Daniel Levy’s preferred candidate after missing out on Julian Nagelsmann and Brendan Rodgers.
Spurs have also explored the option of bringing Mauricio Pochettino back to the club but luring him from Paris Saint-Germain have proved complicated.
Talks will continue over the weekend but Spurs need to convince Conte of their long-term project.
