Jorge Mendes has offered Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo to Spurs as their new manager, according to reports.
Tottenham are currently on the lookout for a new boss after sacking Jose Mourinho ten days ago, with Ryan Mason put in charge until the end of the season.
There have been rumours that Brendan Rodgers and Julian Nagelsmann could’ve been possible candidates – but the former has ruled himself out, while the latter is to become the new Bayern Munich boss at the end of the season.

Super agent Mendes boasts an impressive portfolio of clients, including Nuno, who has been brilliant for Wolves since taking over in 2017.
Wolves, who have missed Raul Jimenez for most of the season, haven’t been as impressive this term as in past campaigns but Nuno is still held in very high regard.
And The Sun now claim that Mendes ‘wants to get’ Nuno to Tottenham and ‘has made contact with Spurs over a potential switch in the summer’.
If that happens, Mendes hopes to bring former Benfica boss Bruno Lage to Molineux to replace Nuno, who has a contract at Wolves until the summer of 2023.
The report adds that there is a feeling it ‘may be the right time [for Nuno] to move on to a bigger side’ with Wolves not competing in Europe next season.
Spurs were defeated 1-0 in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday and Jamie Carragher claims they “bottled it” against Manchester City.
“It’s nothing to do with Ryan Mason at all,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “This is a group of players who really lack courage and basically bottled it in the final really.”
Tottenham’s 13-year wait for a major trophy continued and Carragher said their meek surrender to City justified their reputation as a team who fail to perform when it matters.
“What I saw under (Mauricio) Pochettino for three or four years was outstanding. What I saw under Harry Redknapp for two or three years was outstanding as well.
“But when Spurs fans get upset, the reason people speak about them in those terms is because of games like this.
“In their last four cup finals, they haven’t scored a goal and this type of performance is why they are stuck with this tag and I can’t argue for them.
“Spurs fans can’t argue for them on the back of this performance and it is on the players, nothing to do with the manager.”
