Tottenham face competition for Holland coach Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal has been touting himself for the Spurs job, but is now emerging as a target for Spartak Moscow.

Spartak have been courting Van Gaal for some time, even making him a formal offer in 2011, which the former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach rejected.

Van Gaal is still likely to choose English football over the Russian game, not least because of the language barrier and because of the higher profile of the Premier League, says the London Evening Standard.
