“He is a young guy, just off the back of winning the league title with Feyenoord so he is in a good place at this moment in time,” he told Football Insider.
“All these Dutch managers are kind of in the same mould, they like to play football. You look at the way [Erik] Ten Hag has come in a done well after being at Ajax for a number of years. It is kind of the next step for Dutch managers.
“Obviously Slot is looking for that opportunity. Tottenham is a massive football club but they are in a bit of a mess. It is a big job ahead of him but I think he is going to tick a lot of boxes for Tottenham moving forward.
“It is a huge job but also a big opportunity as well.“
