Tottenham will enter talks with Antonio Conte this week to link the Italian manager to a long-term contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Spurs boss recently received a suggestion from the Italian media to take over the Juventus job at the end of the season and the 53-year-old spent some time in Turin during the mid-season break for the World Cup, reports the Evening Standard.
However, Tottenham are optimistic that Conte is happy at the London club and expect him to compromise his long-term future.
Conte’s current contract expires at the end of the season and Spurs have scheduled talks between the Italian manager, chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici for this week to move towards a deal, the Evening Standard reports.
Conte is a very ambitious coach with very high expectations when it comes to being supported with signings.
The former Chelsea manager will want assurances on plans for the January transfer window and beyond as he looks to take Spurs to the next level.

According to the Evening Standard, Spurs have the option to extend the 53-year-old’s current contract for another year, but want to lock him in on better long-term terms.
This would be a big problem if Tottenham gets over the line as Conte is one of the best managers in world football and is capable of taking the club to where he wants to be.
