And according to Kicker reporter Georg Holzner, the former PSG and Chelsea boss was at the top of their list.
However, Spurs appear to have missed out on the German manager as he is now close to replacing Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich.
Holzner tweeted: “After Kicker – Information should be signed by Thomas Tuchel tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
“Tuchel was recently in very close talks with Tottenham, he could well imagine the project.
“But now Bavaria is acting. #fcbayern .”
Nagelsmann is set to be sacked, with the Bundesliga side second in the league.
Bayern are however still in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and domestic cup.
But it does not appear to be enough to save Nagelsmann’s job as Borussia Dortmund lead the Bundesliga by a point.
