Tottenham face paying Feyenoord over the anticipated £6million compensation fee to make Arne Slot their new head coach amid plans to appoint two of his trusted aides.
Slot is emerging as a serious option to replace current interim boss Ryan Mason at Spurs ahead of next season - and importantly the highly-rated coach is attracted to the position.
Formal discussions between Tottenham and Feyenoord are yet to take place.
However, it has been widely recognised that the Dutch club would look to recoup a fee in the region of £6million - a price linked to a release clause that kicks-in next summer - to free Slot from his contract.
