Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a move for Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi if they choose to sack Ange Postecoglou.

This season has been a desperately disappointing one for Spurs as they have slipped dramatically down the Premier League table. Postecoglou has needed to contend with an injury crisis, but performances have continued to be poor when they have returned to full fitness.

Postecoglou has been criticised for being incapable of adapting his style and arguably made a rod for his own back earlier in the campaign when he suggested he always wins a trophy in his second season. Spurs are currently a goal down to AZ Alkmaar in their Europa League round of 16 tie and that looks to be their best possible hope of winning silverware this season.

On Sunday, Tottenham rescued a draw at home to AFC Bournemouth, having largely been second best with hero Son Heung-min insisting that he was still 'very disappointed' with his team's current performances. With the pressure mounting on Daniel Levy as well as Postecoglou, there have been persistent rumours regarding the manager's future.

According to Tuttosport, Levy and the Spurs board have earmarked Inzaghi as an option to replace Postecoglou, should they choose to sack him. They are reportedly impressed by the team that he has built in Milan and are hopeful they could persuade him to leave Serie A for the Premier League.
