The club’s increasingly influential director of football Fabio Paratici has moved quickly to identify Nuno’s replacement with a deal in principle agreed for former Chelsea boss Conte.

It is understood Conte, who has a long-term relationship with Paratici, has been offered an 18 month contract with a pro-rata salary of around £13million, taking his overall earnings across the initial contract to close to £20m.

And he will be backed heavily in the transfer market, according to The Sun.

Tottenham did not make any big signings in the summer but did manage to keep hold of Harry Kane.

Their season has not gone to plan at all and they currently sit ninth after five defeats in their first 10 games.
