JULIAN NAGELSMANN is “very tempted” by the Tottenham job, according to reports.
The German withdrew from the race to be the next Chelsea manager this week.
He could still move to the Premier League this summer, however, with Spurs keen.
The North Londoners are believed to have been turned down by Nagelsmann immediately after Antonio Conte’s sacking.
But after some time off following his Bayern axe, Nagelsmann could yet be tempted by a move to Tottenham at the end of the season.
According to Bild, Nagelsmann “would accept” an offer to become Spurs’ next boss.

Should Tottenham swoop for the 35-year-old, Bayern Munich could be due compensation, despite sacking him for Thomas Tuchel.
This matter shouldn’t an issue, however, as Spurs moving for Nagelsmann would save Bayern from having to pay his £6million a year salary.
The Tottenham job is now claimed to be Nagelsmann’s “focus”.
In addition to the former Bayern and RB Leipzig boss, Spurs have also been linked with Vincent Kompany, Arne Slot and Luis Enrique.
