Tottenham Hotspur are still looking to bring in a quality replacement for Antonio Conte, and they are thought to be in talks with Vincent Kompany.
A report from Football Insider claims Tottenham Hotspur are currently locked in talks with Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, who has done quite well in the EFL Championship this season.
The 37-year-old helped Burnley win the Championship and return to the Premier League. The Belgian’s philosophy and Burnley’s performances have attracted a lot of praise this season. And he could prove to be an exciting acquisition for Tottenham.
The 37-year-old has won multiple Premier League titles as a player, and he will know all about the demands of competing at the highest level. Kompany is undoubtedly a promising young manager with a big future ahead of him. And the opportunity to manage a club like Tottenham could be an attractive option for him.
Julian Nagelsmann is also on Tottenham’s wishlist. But it remains to be seen who they appoint eventually. The report further states that club Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants to secure an appointment quickly. So a new manager could be in place as soon as the season ends.
Kompany will need time to get things in order at Tottenham, and he will need a full pre-season. It makes sense for Tottenham to appoint him early on and let him rebuild the side. Furthermore, the North London giants will have to back the 37-year-old considerably in the transfer window.
Tottenham desperately need reinforcements this summer and will have to plug the gaps in their squad if they want to challenge for major trophies. It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham so far, and they are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification. The loss of premier European football will certainly come as a damaging blow to their finances.

But Kompany will be expected to guide them back into the top four immediately. It remains to be seen whether the Belgian is prepared to take on the challenge next season. Alternatively, the opportunity to manage Burnley in the Premier League after guiding them to the top flight could also be an attractive option for him.
