TOTTENHAM are reportedly in talks with Belgium boss Roberto Martinez to become their new manager.
Sky Sports claims Daniel Levy has identified the former Everton gaffer as the perfect man to replace Jose Mourinho, who was sacked days before April’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
Spurs have now reached out to Martinez as he prepares for Belgium’s adventure at the Euros.
And Sky add the Spanish tactician has already told friends he expects a return to club football later this summer.
Should Martinez take charge at Spurs, current interim boss Ryan Mason may continue to play a role in his backroom team.
However, Tottenham have a number of other targets on their managerial shortlist too.
Brighton’s Graham Potter and ex-RB Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick are both said to be of interest.
And SunSport exclusively told you that Levy is even thinking of bringing Mauricio Pochettino back from Paris Saint-Germain, 18 months after sacking him.

Spurs will want to move quickly though after being rocked by Harry Kane’s transfer bombshell.
The fan favourite, who scooped this season’s Golden Boot with 23 strikes, has informed Levy he intends to quit Tottenham.

Man City, Man United and Chelsea have all been linked with stunning £150million bids.
But a visionary new boss, backed by a substantial transfer war chest, may be able to persuade Kane to stick around for at least one more year.
However, Spurs have already started making enquiries for replacements, with loanee Carlos Vinicius now an option after he was originally intended to return to Benfica.
Southampton’s Danny Ings looks to be the most likely candidate as he enters the final year of his contract.
Spurs are also said to have long-standing interest in both Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
