Daniel Levy eyes key Brentford signing for Tottenham to aid Julian Nagelsmann manager talks

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is considering a move for Brentford's technical director Lee Dykes as he looks to replace Fabio Paratici - an appointment that could help talks with Julian Nagelsmann regarding the vacant managerial position. The former Bayern Munich boss is said to have concerns about Spurs' lack of a director of football which has stalled negotiations between the two parties.

Antonio Conte was sacked in March following an explosive rant after the 3-3 draw against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium. Cristian Stellini, Conte's former assistant, took over as interim manager but was then dismissed following the 5-1 defeat against Newcastle at St. James' Park.

Ryan Mason is now acting as caretaker manager until the end of the season as Levy searches for a new permanent head coach. Nagelsmann is currently favourite to become the next Spurs manager with Mauricio Pochettino leading the race to be appointed as Chelsea's new head coach.
