Vincent Kompany sends Daniel Levy clear message as Burnley boss becomes 'top Tottenham target'

Vincent Kompany has insisted that he's focused on his job at Burnley despite having been lined up to replace Antonio Conte at Tottenham. The former Manchester City defender has been heavily linked with taking the helm at Hotspur Way after the Italian parted ways with the north London outfit earlier this week.

Initially, Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino seemed to be the two frontrunners for the Spurs job but a report has since revealed that Kompany is in fact the 'leading contender'. However, in an interview with Sky Sports, the Belgian has outlined that he's happy at Turf Moor and is eager to build upon the success Burnley have enjoyed this term.

The Clarets are currently top of the Championship with a 13 point lead over second-placed Sheffield United. However, Kompany hasn't just transformed Burnley's fortunes, he's also managed to reshape the club's identity on the pitch into a side who play attractive football.
