Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has emerged as Tottenham Hotspur's top target should Antonio Conte leave at the end of the season.
The 46-year-old is now the front-runner should the Italian leave the club with a decision to make with Roberto Mancini and fans' favourite Mauricio Pochettino seen as other options.
The Seagulls boss was considered last summer following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho, but the role eventually went to Nuno Espirito Santo, who has since been sacked and replace by Conte.

Daniel Levy was prepared to pay the £15m in compensation it would have taken to land Potter last summer, but he was keen to remain at Brighton, who are currently ninth in the Premier League table.
The size of that compensation figure is understood to have decreased with one year less remaining on his contract, but Spurs would still have to pay in excess of £10m to take Potter, according to the Telegraph.
Spurs have long admired the work Potter has accomplished at Brighton and his work has impressed managing director Fabio Paratici.
