However, with Nagelsmann stalling over certain conditions at Spurs, it appears Levy is now turning his attentions to capturing Alonso.

Labelled as a ‘classy‘ guy by Jamie Redknapp, Alonso has impressed since going into management. He was always seen as a natural coach from his time as a player and so far, he is proving people right.

Tottenham got themselves a much-needed win this weekend against Crystal Palace. Harry Kane, yet again, was the difference maker.

TBR’s View: Alonso wouldn intrigue fans

The one thing Xabi Alonso would have from the players and fans is a bit of respect. Tottenham seem to have had an issue with that for a while and Alonso would hopefully bring people together.

As a player, he was superb. And as a manager, he’s already looking like one of the top young coaches in Europe.

Out of all the names being mentioned, Alonso is one who’d go down well with Tottenham fans.
