Enrique was in London earlier this month to speak to Chelsea chiefs after they sacked Potter just seven months into his rein.

Enrique is understood to be keen on the vacancy at Chelsea and would like to coach in England.

However, it's been reported that Enrique was frustrated after Todd Boehly's decision to make Frank Lampard Chelsea's interim boss as he felt ready to take the job straight away.

Chelsea are also interested in former Bayern Munich boss Julien Nagelsmann and are taking their time before making a final decision on Potter's permanent successor.

Now Tottenham are poised to try and tempt Enrique to take over from Antonio Conte.

Conte parted ways with Tottenham at the end of March after launching a public attack on the players, with assistant while Cristian Stellini placed in charge until the end of the season.

Enrique has been out work since leaving his role as Spain manager after the World Cup last-16 exit to Morocco in December.

He spent four years in the job and previously guided Barcelona to Champions League glory, as well as two LaLiga titles.
