Tottenham expert ‘really worried’ after hearing ‘tier one’ update on Antonio Conte’s future today
The latest update on Antonio Conte’s Tottenham future is “really worrying”.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
As per The Times’ Gary Jacob (24 April), Conte, 52, is interested in replacing Mauricio Pochettino at PSG.
A La Parisien report from earlier that day claims the former Spurs boss is on the brink of losing his job despite sealing the Ligue 1 title with a 1-1 draw against Lens on Sunday.
Wenham is concerned by this latest development as Jacob’s information is “tier one”.
“Gary Jacobs is absolutely tier one, for me,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I know he knows people who know Pochettino as well. I have spoken to him many times.
“He wouldn’t put that out there if he wasn’t sure of his information so that is really worrying.
“As I have said, I do feel in a safer position than ever that if Conte goes, our number one choice to replace him will be available.
“Poch would be available on a free which is ideal but I don’t want to lose Conte.
“It’s a tricky situation this one.”
Tottenham’s hopes of finishing in the top four took another blow this weekend as they drew 0-0 with Brentford on Saturday (23 April).
Earlier that day, Arsenal beat Man United 3-1 to move two points clear of their North London rivals.
