Louis van Gaal is again being linked with Tim Sherwood's job at Tottenham. The Sunday Mirror says Sherwood's hopes of remaining as Tottenham manager are fading - with Van Gaal waiting in the wings to replace him.

Holland boss Van Gaal has not hidden his wish to move to the Premier League and admitted: "Am I still in contact with Spurs? There will come a moment that I can talk about that.

"Look at my CV. I have won a trophy every season during my club career.

"I am a winner and craving a trophy. This is why I am sick of being a national coach. I only see the players eight times a year. I am not enjoying the job of national coach at all.

"After the World Cup I want to coach a big club again and win trophies. Otherwise I will retire.''
