Tottenham are expected to appoint Premier League icons Yaya Toure and Jermain Defoe as academy coaches in the coming days.
Toure, 39, is one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. The former Ivory Coast international, who won the Champions League at Barcelona, inspired Manchester City to three Premier League titles, three League Cups and the FA Cup during his time in England.
Defoe, also 39, is a Tottenham icon after scoring 243 goals for the club across two spells. The former England international won 57 caps for his country and represented the likes of Portsmouth, West Ham Bournemouth, Sunderland and Rangers during his club career.
