The Italian is set to be removed from his post after scorning comments he made during a press conference after blowing a 3-1 lead over Southampton.

The comments saw him heavily criticise the board and players.

And as the fallout from the rant continues, Spurs have now ramped up their plans to replace the Italian, who is out of contract in the summer.

According to Bild, Eintracht Frankfurt boss Glasner has been contacted by the North Londoners.

Frankfurt faced Spurs in the Champions League earlier this season, but were later unable to overcome the challenge of Serie A leaders Napoli in the Last 16.

As well as their European campaign, Frankfurt currently sit sixth in the Bundesliga and are in the quarter-final of the DFB-Pokal.
