Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has refused to comment on speculation linking him with Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs are still hunting for a new manager having parted ways with Jose Mourinho back in April.
A host of names have been linked with the job, but Daniel Levy is still searching for Tottenham’s next boss ahead of the new season.
One name heavily linked is Martinez, who hasn’t managed in club football since leaving Everton back in 2016.
Het Belang Van Limburg in Belgium reported last week that Tottenham have offered a deal to Martinez having asked him to become their new boss.
ESPN add that Barcelona are looking towards Martinez to become their new manager should Ronald Koeman leave this summer.
Martinez took Belgium to the semi-finals of the Europa League and is widely expected to take them deep into the European Championships this summer.
He started well with Everton, but really faded by the end, with his Toffees side crumbling defensively under the Spaniard.
That has left some Spurs fans fearing such a move, and Martinez – as quoted by Football.London – has refused to talk about the matter.
Martinez simply wouldn’t talk about his future at all with Euro 2020 on the horizon, meaning Spurs may face a wait if they do want him to sign a deal as he doesn’t want to distract his players.
“We have been looking forward to this tournament for three years,” he said. “Now is not the time to talk about my future,” he added.
