Tottenham have made England boss Gareth Southgate their top target if Mauricio Pochettino quits at the end of the season, according to the Daily Express.
Pochettino said before last season's Champions League final that he could might leave if Tottenham lifted the European Cup - as it would have been the culmination of a five-year project.
The Argentine continues to be linked with under-performing Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Southgate could be tempted back to club management after next summer’s Euro 2020 finals.
Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Danny Rose and Eric Dier have all made huge strides with England under Southgate's guidance.
