A report from Germany has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for an experienced Premier League manager, and they are favourites to beat a Bundesliga side to his signature.
As the speculation over Ange Postecoglou’s future at Spurs continues to intensify, various names have been mooted as potential replacements for the Australian at the end of this season.
It has been widely reported that Andoni Iraola is Tottenham’s top choice to replace Postecoglou while other sources have claimed that Spurs are also keeping an eye on both Marco Silva and Thomas Frank as backup options.
Last week, it was reported that Tottenham are also considering a shock move for Oliver Glasner, and there has now been a fresh update on the Austrian coach’s future.
Tottenham have an advantage in Oliver Glasner race
A report in SportBild (as relayed by Sport Witness) now discusses the possibility of Glasner exiting Crystal Palace this summer and reveals that RB Leipzig are keen on bringing him back to Germany.
However, the outlet states that Tottenham Hotspur are also on the trail of the former Eintracht Frankfurt head coach, who remains a candidate to take over from Ange Postecoglou.
It is said that Spurs ‘can offer a higher salary’ to Glasner and could thus prove a more attractive destination for the 50-year-old.

Interestingly, it is said that Tottenham are not the only Premier League club to have made contact with Glasner, but the report does not name who the other sides are.
Who do Spurs fans want to replace Postecoglou?
Based on the reports doing rounds over recent weeks, it seems as if the Tottenham hierarchy are prioritising managers who are currently working in the Premier League while finalising their top candidates to take over this summer.
However, search engine analysis has revealed that most Spurs fans want Mauricio Pochettino to return to N17 this summer, although that looks like it might be very difficult for Tottenham to pull off.
