Savinho's agents are bound for Europe in a bid to secure the transfer he wants from Manchester City to Tottenham.

Frederico Moraes of ProManager left Brazil on Thursday with a view to further negotiations next week.

Spurs are keen on Savinho who moved to City from Girona in Spain a year ago and the move appeals to the 21-year-old winger because he wants to star as a Premier League regular not a fringe player in the season with a World Cup at the end.

Pep Guardiola has been seeking ways to trim the size of his squad as part of a reboot at the Etihad Stadium, but City have demanded £67million according to reports in Brazil.

Tottenham are also in pursuit of Eberechi Eze, who would cost a similar figure. They are in talks with Crystal Palace and inching closer to a deal but not yet in agreement.

Arsenal have shown an interest in Eze but at present, the 27-year-old England forward looks most likely end up at Spurs.

Thomas Frank wants to sign both players. It is not a case of one of the other. They have different profiles and would fulfil very different roles in squad if he managed to secure them both.

He is desperately short of creativity with both James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski injured long term and this was evident from open play in the Super Cup, when the twp Spurs goals came from set pieces.

Frank though will be cautious having seen a move for Morgan Gibbs-White collapse in the final stages.

Tottenham's performance in the Super Cup, however, might convince any potential targets they are a serious outfit going into this season. They led Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 before conceding two goals late on and losing on penalties.

'It is the beginning of a journey together,' said midfielder Joao Paulinha, who made his debut against PSG after a loan move from Bayern Munich. 'It's a new team for me. Tottenham is a great club. It has all the conditions to achieve good things.

'It showed in the past and for sure it will show again in the future. We have a top coach with a top human being. I think we have all the conditions together to achieve good things.

'We just need to be with our heads up and keep fighting because the journey is really long, but we are really motivated for the beginning of the Premier League. And I think the future will bring us something special.'

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has admitted his side were 'very lucky' to win the Super Cup on penalties against Tottenham.

Spurs dominated the French giants for the majority of Thomas Frank's first competitive match in charge of the club, seizing full control of the contest thanks to goals from Micky van de Ven and newly-appointed captain Cristian Romero.

But PSG staged a dramatic late comeback in Italy after second-half substitutes Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos netted to force a penalty shootout, which the Ligue 1 champions won 4-3 following misses from Van de Ven and Mathys Tel.

Enrique gave a brutally honest verdict of his side's performance after the match, admitting PSG were 'very lucky' and that Tottenham deserved to lift the trophy.

'For 80 minutes, we didn't deserve that,' he confessed. 'I think Tottenham deserved winning the match because we can feel they were in form and can feel they have been training for six weeks.

'They played a great match and we have only been training for six days. Sometimes football is unfair and I have to say we were very lucky in the last 10 minutes to score two goals.

'I have to say my players had faith until the last minute like our supporters but football is unpredictable and in that sense I have to say we were very lucky.'

PSG's lack of training ahead of the new campaign occurred as a result of their participation at the inaugural Club World Cup.

The Paris outfit suffered a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea in the final, which was staged in the United States only one month ago.

Asked whether a lack of preseason training affected their performance in the Super Cup, Enrique replied: 'Absolutely, from the first minute when the players touched the ball, when the players played without having the time to think about where to pass.

'Yes - a lot of unprecise passes and it's difficult to play the way you want to play if you don't train. I have to say it was like a miracle (to win).'

After the match, TNT Sports pundit Glenn Hoddle claimed Spurs can take plenty of positives from the match, despite losing in a heartbreaking manner on penalties.

The Tottenham legend, who like Enrique believed Frank's side were superior to PSG, said: '(Spurs_ more than held their own, they were the better team by far. I think Luis Enrique actually sort of apologised in a way when he went up to Thomas Frank at the end there.

'For me, when they analyse the performance, that will give them so much belief going into the Champions League. Playing against this great side that have won the Champions League, "we went toe-to-toe and more, and over 90 minutes we were the better team".

'The substitutions made the difference but at the end of the day they have got a Champions League to play and I think that's a template.

'The way they played there, don't be surprised if they play Liverpool, if they play Manchester City, if they play Arsenal - that's a template to play in the Champions League and maybe away from home.

'That is something they will really grasp. They will look at that and analyse and say "we were the better team".

'So that's a template now to go on the front foot and go toe-to-toe with these teams. That is a massive performance from Tottenham tonight from a manager's point-of-view.

'Yes it's emotional and disappointing because you are 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go and you've lost the trophy, but at the end of the day I think it's a real positive night for Tottenham.'

Goals from set plays. Goals from centre halves. Long throws, an aerial assault and defensive resilience to neutralise the European champions.

The Thomas Frank revolution is under way. The style of football could hardly be more distinct from the one we witnessed under Ange Postecoglou but the thrill and the drama not at all dissimilar.

Two goals up through Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero and Tottenham seemed to be coasting to another piece of silverware when Paris Saint-Germain slipped into the groove, fought back level and took the UEFA Super Cup final to penalties.

Vitinha missed the target, and Spurs went 2-0 up again before Van de Ven’s was saved and Mathys Tel pulled his wide. Nuno Mendes scored the winning spot kick and the silverware goes to Paris not London.

With the performance over 90 minutes, though, Frank has imposed himself on Tottenham supporters. This is the way the Dane operates, with a strategy designed to combat the strengths of the opposition and a team packed with aggression.

His new chairman, Daniel Levy, who missed the game while in the United States with his family, would have enjoyed the occasion if not the final outcome.

Spurs didn’t have much of the ball. Passes did not purr, they did not pour forward, and here’s the thing. There are different ways to play the game. Different way to go about collecting your silverware.

They came within three minutes of adding another trophy to the one they claimed in Bilbao, in May, and nobody will complain if they take the good points from this performance and build them into something more over the course of the season.

Not even at Spurs, where they can be derided for their purist principles.

Frank handed debuts to his two senior summer signings Mohamed Kudus and Joao Paulhina and lined the team up with a back three. Freshly appointed captain Romero was central between Van de Ven and Kevin Danso.

Kudus and Richarlison worked in tandem up front with Pape Matar Sarr breaking out as the most advanced of three midfielders. They made a strong start as you might expect for a team six games into their preparation and opponents who came in straight off the beach.

Pedro Porro, enjoying the freedom of the wing back role, fizzed the first effort of the game narrowly over from 25 yards.

PSG returned to training this week after the FIFA Club World Cup final a month ago, and working a significant change into their game, with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier in at the expense of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the scourge of the English on so many occasions.

Donnarumma is bound for the exit with Manchester City reportedly interested.

Chevalier, 23, has been signed from Lille for £33million and Luis Enrique, who was effusive in praise of Donnarumma on the eve of the game, claimed it was about a strategic change of direction.

This means he has signed a ‘keeper who oozes comfort on the ball and likes to come out and join the play, although judging by the second goal he ought to prioritise keeping it out.

His first save of the night was a routine one to turn over a 20-yarder unleashed by Richarlison after a promising link up with Kudus. Not a difficult save. Rodrigo Bentancur headed wide from the corner which followed.

Enrique’s team were certainly not in the groove they were when they swatted aside four Premier League teams and destroyed Inter Milan on the way to their first Champions League title.

But they have such quality that it could not fail to sparkle when they did begin to zip some passes about and always threatening on the break with scintillating pace and four out-and-out attacking players in the starting line-up.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia fizzed one wide on the turn and Bradley Barcola buzzed in the space behind Porro, the space most teams usually seek to exploit when they play against Spurs.

Ousmane Dembele lashed over a chance that fell to unexpectedly from a hoof clear by Van de Ven.

But Frank’s back five were strong. One striking aspect of his first selection was the sheer size and power on parade as Spurs lined up for ceremonial duties before kick-off.

With Vicario in goal, three huge centre-halves, two huge midfield screeners, Djed Spence at left wing back and Richarlison up front. Strong too, as Kudus proved when he flattened Vitinha, simply by running into him.

Spurs were aggressive, physical and menacing from set plays, the last of which will have delighted the new boss. It is one of his central to his methodology and distinct from his predecessor.

Van de Ven’s goal was classic Frank. A long diagonal free-kick launched into the deep by Vicario for Romero to head back across goal from somewhere near the left wing. Paulinha rolled Marquinhos and his shot was turned onto the frame of the goal.

It was a fine reflex save by Chevalier but Van de Ven was first to the rebound, sweeping the ball into the open net with his right foot. The sharpness of the extra preparation and the aerial power together with great effect.

They led at the interval despite only 35 percent of the ball and Kudus was close to making it 2-0 in stoppage time at the end of the first half, heading against a post after Danso and Richarlison won headers.

Romero headed in the second, with a run to meet a Porro free-kick beyond the back post soon after the restart. Chevalier made a complete mess of it. He reached it with both hands and tried to push it wide under pressure from Sarr but only pushed it into the corner of the net.

Spurs might have scored more. Danso crashed a header into the side netting and fooled 4,500 fans into thinking it was 3-0 and Porro swerved a free kick wide.

PSG rallied, finding their best in the final third of the game. Frank’s team had to defend as they tired and substitutions disrupted the flow.

Barcola had a goal ruled out for offside. Then Kang-in Lee scored. There were hints of the closing stages of the Europa League final about the nerve-jangling ending as six minutes were added on.

But this time Spurs conceded late. Dembele’s cross was headed in by Goncalo Ramos and a thrilling contest would be decided on penalties. Chevalier emerged as a hero but there is plenty to encourage Frank.

Thomas Frank suffered a heartbreaking defeat during his first competitive match in charge of Tottenham on Wednesday night, as Paris Saint-Germain came from two goals down to win the Super Cup dramatically on penalties.

The former Brentford boss, who took over from Ange Postecoglou days after Spurs won the Europa League last campaign, almost got off to the perfect start as his new team led the Champions League winners 2-0 heading into the final 10 minutes of the match.

Spurs defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored either side of half-time to put the north London club in full control, but PSG staged a late comeback through substitutes Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos to force penalties.

Unfortunately for Tottenham and Frank, Van de Ven and Mathys Tel fluffed their lines from the spot in the shootout, handing PSG a 4-3 victory on penalties.

The dramatic defeat comes just days before the start of the new season, with Frank's side hosting Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Daily Mail Sport's JAMES SHARPE gives his verdict on the players' performances after watching the action in Italy.

Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3)

Lucas Chevalier - 6

Debutant could do nothing about Tottenham’s opener when he tipped Palhinha’s effort on to the bar but should have done better with Romero’s header.

Achraf Hakimi - 5

Not often beaten in a footrace but was left eating Spence’s dust all game was instantly crowded out whenever he got the ball.

Marquinhos - 6.5

The inspirational captain who lifted PSG’s first Champions League trophy pulled off a vital important block to stop Kudus’ fierce shot heading for the corner.

Willian Pacho - 5

Bullied by Richarlison whenever Spurs went direct and bamboozled by Kudus whenever he drifted wide to close down the winger.

Nuno Mendes - 6.5

The marauding full-back was key in PSG’s Champions League victory last season, was one of their standouts here and fittingly scored the crucial spot kick.

Warren Zaire-Emery - 5

The teenage prodigy had little impact and made you wonder if Enrique made a mistake not starting Fabio Ruiz instead.

Vitinha - 6

One of nine Ballon d’Or nominees but a shadow of his usual self until late on when his neat ball to Kang In-Lee set up PSG’s goal.

Desire Doue - 5.5

Scored twice in the Champions League final but barely had a sniff here, another who had no answer to the onslaught of Tottenham’s non-stop pressure.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - 5

A frustrating night. Showed nowhere near the quality he did during the Champions League last season and was subbed on the hour.

Ousmane Dembele - 6.5

Odds-on favourite to win the Ballon D’or but played far too deep to have any real impact until his superb cross set up the equaliser.

Bradley Barcola - 6.5

On the few occasions PSG did get some joy, it usually came from his dribbles into space. Saw his goal ruled out for offside that would have given his side hope. 6.5

SUBSTITUTES

Fabian Ruiz, Goncalo Ramos, Lee Kang-in, Ibrahim Mbaye

MANAGER

Luis Enrique - 7

Almost left it too late to deal with Tottenham’s direct approach but his subs changed the game.

Tottenham (3-5-2)

Guglielmo Vicario - 6.5

Barely had a save to make until the end but his raking free-kicks from inside PSG’s half ended up being a crucial part of Tottenham’s direct game plan.

Pedro Porro - 6.5

Always an attacking threat as he bombed forward from wing-back and a great delivery to the back post for Romero’s second.

Kevin Danso - 7

Continually caused havoc in the PSG penalty area with his Rory Delap-esque long throws and threw his body on the line whenever trouble beckoned.

Cristian Romero - 7.5

A captain’s performance from the new Tottenham skipper, sweeping up any danger, nodding in the second goal and lifting his first trophy.

Micky van de Ven - 7

Used his pace to cover the left side and allow Spence to bomb forward and then reacted quickest to poke home the opener.

Djed Spence - 6.5

Let’s hope Tottenham’s kit man remembers to take Hakimi out of Spence’s shorts pocket before putting them in the wash.

Joao Palhinha - 7

The on-loan from Bayern Munich showed his quality in all aspects, making the most tackles and forcing the save for Spurs’ opener.

Rodrigo Bentancur - 7

Summed up his endless energy, desire and tenacity with a lung-busting 40-yard run to close down a promising PSG attack. Top class.

Pape Sarr - 8

A midfield masterclass. Won huge tackles, drew fouls, got in the box and put in a crucial block to deny Zaire-Emery a tap-in during the first half.

Mohammed Kudus - 7.5

This is why Spurs paid £55m for him from West Ham. Quick, direct, caused problems whenever he got the ball. Linked brilliantly with Richarlison.

Richarlison - 7.5

PSG just could not handle him. Strong, physical, superb hold-up play, brilliant understanding with Kudus and forced a five save.

SUBSTITUTES

Mathys Tel, Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall

MANAGER

Thomas Frank - 7

Showed great tactical nous starting with a back three that turned Spurs into a rock-solid defensive unit but changes didn’t help see out the game.

Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates as PSG take on Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.

Tottenham and PSG fans have been left thirsty ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final after a wide-reaching booze ban in Udine.

Pubs and shops have been barred from selling wine or spirits by the city council - with fans and locals given the same severe treatment.

The only option they have been left with is beer - perhaps not a problem to most people, but still a restriction on their tastebuds.

Tottenham hope to upset PSG in the annual contest between the Europa League and Champions League winners in what will be Thomas Frank's first game.

An upset has already been caused in a different respect thanks to the alcohol prohibition, but one police officer told The Sun: 'These are the rules and it is beer only.

'Even the shops and supermarkets have not been allowed to sell alcohol to residents that live here.'

One pub attempted to distance itself from the unpopular decision, sticking up notes which read 'say thanks to the UEFA' and 'it's not our fault'.

Serving drinks with an alcohol content above five per cent is also banned.

A statement on the website of Udine's city council reads: 'The event is considered "extremely high risk" due to the expected large influx of fans.

'To prevent alcohol abuse and dangerous behavior, restrictive measures have been adopted regulating the sale, serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages, as well as the sale of beverages in glass containers and cans.'

Fans will not be allowed to consume beverages in public places beyond the relevant establishments, the Stadio Friuli, the ground's southern parking lot, and fan zones.

Even local motorway services have been slapped with the banning order in a bid to clamp down on people getting their hands on the 'contraband'.

Tottenham go into the game as underdogs after scraping into the tournament after beating Manchester United 1-0 in last season's Europa League final.

Meanwhile, PSG booked their place by thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, before subsequently being runners-up to Chelsea in the Club World Cup.

Spurs will be without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, and Kota Takai, who are all injured.

Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie are also doubts.

Yves Bissouma has not travelled with the squad after being late for training too many times, manager Frank explained.

As for PSG, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been left out of their squad after they signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille, while midfielder Joao Neves is suspended.

Tottenham are set to further test Manchester City’s resolve over Savinho in a bid to bolster Thomas Frank’s attacking armoury.

City knocked back an enquiry for the Brazil international, revealed earlier in the week, and are thought to only be entertaining offers of more than £50million.

Spurs will go again for Savinho, who cost £31m from Troyes this time last year and made 48 appearances during his debut season under Pep Guardiola.

City possess Phil Foden and Oscar Bobb as competition on the right wing – with Rayan Cherki capable of operating out there too.

But Savinho was noticeably given the nod for City’s two biggest matches at the Club World Cup, the victory over Juventus and defeat by Al Hilal.

The 21-year-old is, however, uncertain over his future role at the Etihad Stadium and Tottenham are looking to pounce.

Were City to do business with Spurs, they would turn their attentions to Real Madrid superstar and Savinho’s international team-mate Rodrygo.

Rodrygo has been a constant thorn in City’s side during the titanic Champions League battles of recent seasons and is thought to want a fresh challenge away from the Bernabeu.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak had promised aggression in the transfer market, with City having brought in five new faces either side of the Club World Cup.

Landing Rodrygo and Gianluigi Donnarumma, the latter in the potential eventuality of Ederson leaving, would signify a serious show of intent.

City still need to let a number of non-homegrown players go to avoid having to omit anybody from their European squad, which limits the number of registered foreign stars.

If there is an obvious void in Thomas Frank’s credentials to manage Tottenham it comes in Europe.

His experience is minimal and Bill Nicholson, the most illustrious of his predecessors, once claimed the club was ‘nothing’ without European football.

It explains the tidal wave of euphoria unleashed upon a long-suffering fanbase by the Europa League triumph under Ange Postecoglou in Bilbao three months ago.

Past glories were rekindled and prestigious opportunities served up, including the glitzy decoration of tonight’s UEFA Super Cup date with Paris Saint-Germain in north-eastern Italy and the altogether more meaningful prospect of a Champions League draw before the end of this month.

Thus far, Frank’s experience of managing in Europe amounts to a couple of brief Europa League campaigns back in his native Denmark with Brondby, neither of which made it beyond the qualifying rounds.

Now this first high-profile test since crossing London from Brentford is upon him in a hurry, with questions swirling about how ready Tottenham are for it and what comes next.

They have added two players to a senior squad that crashed to 17th in the Premier League, losing 22 of 38 games, a record dismal enough to get Postecoglou the sack, despite the silverware.

Beyond the managerial change, and a summer of diligent tactical work the players have been keen to talk about, reinforcements were clearly required if Frank was to compete across four major competitions.

Thus far, however, they have brought in Mohammed Kudus for £50million from West Ham and Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich.

An audacious swoop for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White failed, while captain Son Heung-min has been sold to LAFC and James Maddison will miss most of the season after damaging cruciate knee ligaments on the Asian tour.

Dejan Kulusevski is still weeks from a return after a serious knee injury. Dominic Solanke, ruled out of all but one pre-season friendly with an ankle injury, is available for the Super Cup, but there remains an obvious absence of craft and imagination at Frank’s disposal.

It probably explains the air of mild scattergun panic accompanying a flurry of fresh moves linking Spurs with various talented players, including Nico Paz of Como, Savinho of Manchester City and Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace. Frank’s early summer interest in Eze fizzled out amid the front-heavy make-up of the fee established by a since-expired clause and the wage demands of the player.

But it could be revived, especially as interest from Arsenal has faded for the time being.

Eze, who was said to be interested in the Arsenal move, is now thought to be keen on a switch to Spurs. Frank declined to comment when quizzed on the matter last night.

Some of those all too familiar with the way it works in N17 are rolling their eyes. For them it seems like another new dawn and yet the same old story, with transfer targets slipping away, injuries biting and a new season looming with an incomplete squad.

The fans’ movement Change for Tottenham are organising a demonstration in the High Road before Saturday’s Premier League opener at home to Burnley, protesting about ticket prices and recruitment strategy in what they have dubbed ‘a summer of failure’. Things change, but some things stay the same.

On top of this came revelations by Frank that Yves Bissouma had not travelled to Italy, axed from the squad for disciplinary reasons having shown up late on more than one occasion, a bad habit which used to irritate Antonio Conte when he was Spurs boss.

Postecoglou also disciplined Bissouma in August last year, dropping the Mali international midfielder after he had been filmed inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon. He turns 29 before the end of the month but Bissouma, rather than maturing into a senior professional, has claimed an unwanted hat-trick by offending the new boss before a ball of the new season has been kicked.

He has only one year left on his contract and Spurs would sell him if they could, but this will not do anything to generate an attractive offer.

‘He has been late several times and the latest time was one too many,’ was Frank’s explanation. ‘With everything you need to give your players a lot of love, but also have demands and there needs to be consequences. This time there was a consequence for that.’

It is a wholly unnecessary headache for a new head coach still learning to understand the idiosyncratic rhythms of his new club and yet confident they will be in a better place by the time the transfer market closes at the end of the month. ‘I think I have a good team and a good squad,’ said Frank last night in Udine.

‘This transfer window, we are definitely in the market and will do everything we can to make the best possible and strong squad for September 1.

‘There are a few things in the air, shall we say, along the way. The last two days, we trained Sunday, Monday, two top training sessions. Nice, light training and we will be ready tomorrow.’

Paris Saint-Germain beat four English teams and destroyed Inter Milan as they won the Champions League. Tottenham lifted the Europa League without coming even close to a team of their calibre. Yet there is the usual caveat, because the Super Cup is no more than a glorified friendly and Luis Enrique’s team finished last season barely a month ago, losing to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.

Nobody is sure what to expect of the European champions, but they are unlikely to be at their best. As for Spurs, six games into pre-season preparations, we wait with breath bated to see if Frank can find the elusive formula.

Yves Bissouma has been axed from the Tottenham squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain for turning up late – again.

Thomas Frank has not taken long to tire of Bissouma's behaviour, which drew comment form his predecessors.

Antonio Conte complained of his punctuality and Ange Postecoglou left the Mali international midfielder out of a game at the start of last season after he was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon.

'He has been late several times and now this time is one too many,' said Frank. 'With everything you need to give your players a lot of love, but you also have demands and there need to be consequences.

'There has now been a consequence for this trip. I'll park it for now and we will follow up when we come home.'

Bissouma adds to Tottenham’s list of absentees against PSG but Frank has confirmed Dominic Solanke, who has missed all but one of the pre-season friendlies, is fit from an ankle injury and available for the game.

Destiny Udogie is not ready to return but getting closer.

Spurs beat Manchester United to win the Europa League in May, while PSG thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final.

Ange Postecoglou was brutally sacked by Tottenham in June despite winning the Europa League - but he is clearly living his best life away from football.

Postecoglou, 59, received an $8million payout from the Premier League club, and a recent TikTok video shows the ex-Socceroos boss isn't kicking stones as he patiently waits for his next managerial opportunity.

'Aussie Ange' can be seen dining at Sta Kala Kathoumena, an exclusive eatery on the Greek isle of Paros, where he rubbed shoulders with celebrity chef Stefanos Saratsis.

As the former A-League coach at Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory watches on, Saratsis slices the steak into ribbons before spearing a section on to his knife to add seasoning.

Postecoglou gestures his approval to the chef as the clip ends.

It comes after Spurs chairman Daniel Levy recently revealed why Postecoglou was moved on from the North London club.

'Ultimately, the decision sits with me,' Levy said.

'Ange won us a trophy – a European trophy – highly significant and he's always going to be in our history.

'However, we couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league, we lost 22 Premier League games... it is impossible for Tottenham to be in that position.

'We had to take the emotion out of it.

'Whichever level you do it, no one likes telling somebody, "You're losing your job", but it is the nature of football.

'We are there to win and yes, we won a European trophy – and it was fantastic – but we also need to win on all fronts – and the Premier League says it all.'

Levy then swiftly appointed former Brentford boss Thomas Frank as Spurs' new manager in June.

Postecoglou - who also received a $4.2million bonus for winning the Europa League - has been linked to a move to the MLS to manage Los Angeles FC.

He was also reportedly approached by Al-Ahli, who won the AFC Champions League in May and play in the Saudi Pro League.

Socceroos legend Robbie Slater is adamant Postecoglou won't be out of work for too long.

'He put himself in that top echelon by being at a big club and winning a big trophy,' Slater told Code Sports.

'(But) the way he plays football, I don't think a lower club in the Premier League will look at him and go 'we can take that risk.'

'He might get that opportunity in Europe, maybe Spain or France. 'He's gonna get a job, he will be in demand.

'He won't have a job to start next season, but as we know in football it won't take long.'
