Tottenham begin talks with Oliver Glasner: report.
Tottenham Hotspur have opened contact with Oliver Glasner to replace the struggling Ange Postecoglou..
Tottenham Hotspur have begun talks with Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou has endured a rough season in North London, seeing his team slip to 14th in the Premier League – and while the Lilywhites are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Tottenham have won just 11 of their 31 fixtures this season in the league, with hope of European football all but extinguished.
After tensions with fans in the loss to Chelsea recently, things may be untenable for the Australian, who is cutting an ever-more frustrated figure on the touchline.

With fan ire directed towards the board, too, Spurs have apparently been busy interviewing for a 13th manager of chairman Daniel Levy’s reign.
Spurs have been linked with Andoni Iraola extensively, while Marco Silva of Fulham has been presented as an option, with Postecoglou all but consigned to the sack.

German outlet SportBild report via Sport Witness that Oliver Glasner is wanted the North Londoners, amid interest in the Crystal Palace boss from RB Leipzig.
Glasner, ranked at no.47 in FourFourTwo’s list of the best managers in the world right now, has led the Eagles to an FA Cup semi-final this season and has hugely impressed at Selhurst Park with a front-footed 3-4-3 formation.
Tottenham now ready to step up move to sign Crystal Palace star who Jack Grealish called ‘brilliant’..
BR Football understand Tottenham are now ready to step up their interest in a player who is starring for Crystal Palace.
The Eagles have a number of talented footballers currently performing to a high level, with Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton – who is happy at Crystal Palace – attracting plenty of attention.
Beyond them, the likes of Daniel Munoz and Maxence Lacroix are enjoying excellent seasons, along with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr.
Now – however – TBR Football have been told Tottenham are preparing to push to sign a different Crystal Palace player in Tyrick Mitchell.
Spurs very keen to sign Tyrick Mitchell..
Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now been told that Tottenham are huge admirers of the England international, and have decided to push for his signature this summer.
We understand Mitchell – who Jack Grealish called “brilliant” – is considering his options at Selhurst Park ahead of the summer, as he currently competes against Chelsea loanee Ben Chilwell for a start under Oliver Glasner.

Crystal Palace also tried to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf last winter – who plays down the left – which strongly suggested they are looking to replace Mitchell.
Sources inform TBR Football that Tottenham are keen to upgrade their options on the left, and see the Crystal Palace No.3 as a talented option who could slot in.
Furthermore, sources add that Mitchell is also considering his international future after being ignored by England since his debut in 2022 – with Jamaica an option.
Crystal Palace already have a replacement in mind
If Mitchell does depart for Spurs, Crystal Palace already have an idea of who could come in to replace him.
TBR Football are aware the south Londoners like Dennis Cirkin – who is currently impressing for Sunderland in the Championship with three goals and two assists in 34 appearances – and are believed to be favourites to secure his signature.
Interestingly, Tottenham actually sold the left-back to Sunderland back in 2021 for a sum of just £1m.
