Furthermore, they have one step in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals as well having picked up a 2-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the knockout rounds.
Talented young players like Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have excelled under his management and Spalletti could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham. The London club have a number of top-quality talents at their disposal and Spalletti could get them playing an exciting brand of football next season.
However, Tottenham are not the only Premier League club keen on the Italian manager. The likes of Chelsea and Everton are eyeing up a move for the 63-year-old as well as per Il Mattino.
Spalletti has a contract with Napoli until the summer of 2023 but the Italian outfit have the option to trigger a one-year extension and they are likely to follow through with that. It remains to be seen whether Napoli can convince the 63-year-old to commit his long-term future to the club in the coming months.
