Arne Slot would not be drawn on speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, but admits managing in the Premier League is hugely appealing.
The Dutch manager came very close to becoming Whites boss after Jesse Marsch's departure in February, after they made an approach. He decided at that time to stay at Feyenoord despite describing Leeds as a 'nice club', saying the timing was not right to move to England.
But having guided Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie title since 2017, Spurs are said to be very keen on making Slot their new manager this summer. Reports suggest that Slot will meet with the Dutch club this week to discuss his future, with the club saying they'd received no official approach yet.

Asked about his future this weekend, Slot refused to be drawn on the speculation, but did say that moving to the Premier League would be appealing.
Slot said: “Now I have to give you the same answer as I gave to the Dutch media, we are here for the game on Sunday instead of talking about this. I already gave a few times an answer to this sort of question but like I said, it is not the moment to talk about this.
“I think when it comes to Holland, the next step will not be another club in Holland. If that is the next step, I’ve failed completely in the upcoming few years. So normal next step would be to go abroad, and I’ve always said that the best league in the world is the Premier League, but when it comes to Italy, you see now that there are a few clubs that are in every European final as well.
“So there are more countries where it’s interesting to go to in the future. But the Premier League is the biggest league in the world, that is clear.”
