Alasdair Gold provides insight on the chance of Roberto Martinez being appointed Spurs boss

Reports emerged earlier this afternoon claiming that Tottenham Hotspur have been holding talks this week with Roberto Martinez as part of the search to replace Jose Mourinho (Sky Sports).

Martinez is currently the national team manager of Belgium and is said to have told friends that he wants to return to club football management following the end of this summer’s European Championships.

Journalist Alasdair Gold has now shared his understanding of the speculation on Twitter by admitting that while Tottenham do have admiration for the Spaniard, he is not thought to be one of the frontrunners for the vacancy.
