Man City legend Vincent Kompany Tottenham’s No1 target to replace Antonio Conte after leading Burnley to Premier League

SunSport told you last month the Manchester City legend was a surprise name on Levy’s shortlist.

But Spurs chiefs have received glowing reports after a stunning season saw the Clarets promoted in record time.

And Kompany is increasingly seen as the manager who can give the club a new dimension.

Spurs have watched how Mikel Arteta has transformed bitter rivals Arsenal into Premier League title contenders having spent three years working as Pep Guardiola’s No 2 at City.

Kompany spent the same amount of time as captain under Guardiola before becoming Anderlecht manager in 2019.

He won two of his four Prem crowns with Guardiola — who has tipped him as a future Etihad boss.

Spurs are also considering Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, Brendan Rodgers, Arne Slot and their former chief Mauricio Pochettino.

But, crucially for Levy, Kompany made Burnley the Championship’s most entertaining side after putting almost a whole new squad together.

And Kompany is believed to be ready to listen if Spurs make a move as he fears the Clarets may not have the funds to tackle the Prem.

Levy wants to get a new boss lined up quickly with Harry Kane’s future again in doubt and the club facing a battle to finish in the top four.

They are three points behind Newcastle and Manchester United but have played a game more.
