Steve Cooper 'has admirers' at Tottenham as Antonio Conte claim made

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper ahead of the summer.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte's future is uncertain beyond this season, with the Italian set to be out of contract in the coming months. The 51-year-old penned an 18-month deal in November 2021 and the club hold an option to extend the deal by another year.

However, reports suggest that the club aren't "expected" to trigger that option. According to the Daily Mail, Reds' boss Cooper "has admirers" within Spurs, although Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be a "key contender" to replace Conte.

Cooper transformed Forest last season, and continues to improve the side following their return to the top-flight. The Welshman also committed his future to Forest until 2025 earlier this season.

He recently affirmed his love for the club, saying: "I've felt it from the start. Signing the contract is maybe a more high-profile thing but bumping into a supporter in the street will be as important to me.

"I will never worry about my individual situation. I never think about myself, I just don’t. Our club is about the togetherness and the belonging of everybody.

"I don’t want any days off, I don’t want any time not living and breathing Nottingham Forest, because that’s how important it is to me. Away from my family, it’s the only thing in my life. It’s the only thing I want."
