The Athletic reported earlier this week that some sources close to key figures at Spurs are now less optimistic that the 53-year-old will sign a new contract.
The report explained that the main point of contention was likely the club’s ambition, with the Tottenham head coach having doubts over whether Daniel Levy shares the same aim that he does to see the Lilywhites challenging for major honours.
