RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly open to the idea of managing Tottenham Hotspur.

The Premier League club have allegedly identified the 33-year-old as the ideal replacement for Jose Mourinho, with the Portuguese coming under pressure following a poor run of results in England's top flight.

Nagelsmann impressed at Hoffenheim before taking the Leipzig job, and Real Madrid are also believed to be admirers of the German.

According to Bild, the former centre-back, who was forced into early retirement due to a serious knee injury, would be interested in moving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Nagelsmann has an impressive record in charge of Leipzig, winning 47, drawing 19 and losing 13 of his 79 matches at the helm.

Tottenham progressed to the last-16 stage of the Europa League on Thursday night but have lost five of their last six in the Premier League to drop down into ninth position in the table.
