Bild journalist Christian Falk has told CaughtOffSide that Chelsea wanted to appoint Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner, adding that Tottenham Hotspur are looking into the possibility of bringing him to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Falk has reported that Tottenham admire Glasner, who has previously turned down an approach from Chelsea.

Antonio Conte is out of contract at Spurs at the end of the season.

It is not certain if Conte or Tottenham would like the relationship to continue.

Earlier this month, The Daily Mail reported that Tottenham are considering a move for Glasner.

Falk wrote, as relayed by TBR: “Chelsea have knocked on Oliver Glasner’s door in the past but he was committed to the project at Frankfurt. 

“Now, I heard Frankfurt have tried to arrange a new contract and discuss his future. Glasner told them that he needs time to make that decision, so you see, perhaps, he’s thinking of moving to another club – this could be Tottenham.

“I don’t think he’s made a decision yet, so let’s see. Hansi Flick was also close to joining Tottenham before he took the Germany job. Tottenham clearly have their eye on Bundesliga coaches, so perhaps Glasner could be their man.”

Could Tottenham get Oliver Glasner?

In our view, Tottenham Hotspur could be able to bring Oliver Glasner to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer of 2023.

Yes, the 48-year-old is happy at Eintracht Frankfurt, but a move to Spurs could be tempting.

Having already turned down the chance to manage Chelsea, the Austrian could be wary of rejecting yet another chance to move to the Premier League.

After all, you do not get too many opportunities in life.

Glasner could also feel that he has done the best he could do at Frankfurt.

Frankfurt won the UEFA Europa League last season.

They are in the running for the UEFA Champions League places in the Bundesliga table this season.

Frankfurt also reached the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League this campaign.

What more can Glasner achieve at Frankfurt?

Meanwhile, Tottenham will make a bid for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.

Tottenham have been interested in the Morocco international before and will make a bid for him again at the end of the season, according to the report in the Italian news outlet.
