Tottenham are continuing their search for a new manager and have come across former Liverpool midfielder and current Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard has overseen a positive season in Germany having only taken over in October.
He has just over 12 months left on his contract but is highly rated by Tottenham after his work, winning 17 of his 31 matches in charge, scoring 65 goals and losing just seven. Leverkusen have shot up the table and are 14 games unbeaten.
It was an initially rocky start for the 41-year-old, who came from managing Real Sociedad's B side in Spain after previous experience with Real Madrid's youth sides under his belt. Alonso only won one of his first seven matches but now has his team sixth in the league and competing for a top four place.
