Napoli president drops major Luis Enrique hint amid next Tottenham manager links

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted that Luis Enrique "prefers the Premier League" amid talk of him replacing Luciano Spalletti in the Italian side's hotseat this summer. Despite leading Napoli to only their third ever Scudetto, Spalletti has confirmed that he will depart at the end of the season and take some time out of the game.

As well as all the speculation linking Enrique with a switch to Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, the 53-year-old has also been mentioned in regards to the current vacancy at Tottenham following Antonio Conte's departure. Having seen Mauricio Pochettino head to Chelsea and Arne Slot pen a new contract with Feyenoord, Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is the current favourite with the bookies to succeed Conte.

Adored by former Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici, Enrique still remains high on the list with the bookmakers despite the ex-Juventus chief's exit at the end of April. Asked about the possibility of the former Barcelona player becoming Napoli's next manager, De Laurentiis issued an update and suggested that a Premier League move may be Enrique's ideal destination.
