TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are set to undergo a huge change in the summer as they look to appoint a new manager.
Luis Enrique is one coach on Daniel Levy’s managerial shortlist.
The former Spain and Barcelona coach could try to reunite with some familiar faces in North London.
Spanish trio Pau Torres, Ferran Torres and Alvaro Morata were all favourites of Enrique during his time in the Spain hot seat, with the latter pair the most capped players under the 52-year-old.
This could see him encourage Spurs to pursue deals for the trio as Enrique looks to cultivate a more possession-dominant philosophy.
Each have been linked with Spurs and the added pull of Enrique could see deals pushed over the line.

Son Heung-Min and Destiny Udogie could also form a new look left flank.
An alternative look at the team could see the same back line with Torres partnering Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro at right-back, while Ryan Sessegnon is reinstated as an alternative to Udogie.
An alternative to Pickford could be Brentford’s David Raya.
Raya has turned down two contract offers from the Bees suggesting a move is on he cards this summer.
There is no doubt he would suit Enrique’s system, with the 27-year-old proficient both with the ball at his feet and in shot stopping.
Midfield could see another Enrique-inspired recruit in Paris-Saint Germain’s Fabian Ruiz.
Enrique handed the 26-year-old nine caps and with PSG stacked with midfield options the French champs may sanction a sale.
Not wanting to lose the talents of Dejan Kulusevski, Enrique may ask Spurs to purchase the Swedish winger before Torres is moved more centrally to play as a false nine.
