Tottenham told to copy Arsenal trick by appointing 'next Mikel Arteta' despite Man City pressure

Tottenham have been urged to take a leaf out of Arsenal's book amid their search for a next head coach, with Antonio Conte facing an increasingly uncertain future. Following Spurs' early exit from the Champions League to AC Milan, it has looked increasingly likely that the Italian will leave once his contract expires in the summer.

Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi are among several names expected to be on Tottenham's managerial shortlist if Conte departs. However, Daniel Levy has been encouraged to think outside the box when looking for the 53-year-old's eventual successor.

And, in doing so, Spurs have been ushered down a similar path to that of their north London rivals, who are sitting top of the Premier League and reaping the rewards of their risks. In a column for The Times, Tony Cascarino has suggested that Tottenham replace Conte with Vincent Kompany.
