Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri continues to be linked with Tottenham.

Tottenham could meet with Sarri next week to hold talks over the possibility of replacing Jose Mourinho, says the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Sarri is without a club after being sacked by Juventus and reports in Italy this week claimed he was in the frame to take over at Spurs.

It's suggested the Premier League side want to hold talks over the possibility of hiring him.

Talks between the club and Sarri could take place in London as early as next week with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy weighing up his options for the managerial hot seat.

It is also reported that Tottenham were initially interested in hiring Sarri in the summer of 2018, when he left Napoli to take over at Stamford Bridge.

Sarri, 62, is said to be aware of Tottenham's interest as he ponders a return to management.
