Bayer Leverkusen supremo Fernando Carro has insisted Xabi Alonso is “happy” in Germany amid reports linking him to the Tottenham Hotspur job.
The former Liverpool midfielder had emerged as a surprise candidate to replace Antonio Conte, with little experience as a manager. An impressive job since joining Leverkusen has resulted in Die Werkself climbing from a relegation battle to the cusp of a European spot.
Big-name stars like Moussa Diaby were underperforming but Alonso has managed to get a tune out of his squad to save Leverkusen’s season. As it stands, the Spaniard is second favourite behind Julian Nagelsmann to become the next Spurs boss.
