Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have both shown interest in Bruno Genesio, according to a report from French outlet RMC Sport.

Spurs are coming towards the end of their first season under Antonio Conte. Of course, it has been a turbulent time since the Italian was appointed towards the end of last year.

Tottenham have certainly made progress. However, there are still doubts what his future will hold. Certainly, it will seem imperative to many that they secure Champions League football to boost their chances of keeping Conte.

Interestingly, it would appear that Tottenham have made plans in case they do need to replace him.

According to RMC Sport, a host of sides from England and Spain have registered an interest in Genesio in the last few weeks, including Tottenham.

Genesio has taken Rennes to third in Ligue 1. As things stand, they will compete in the qualifiers for the Champions League next year. But they have won their last five games and sit one point behind Marseille.

RMC Sport reports that the 55-year-old is out of contract in 2023 and has not yet ruled out extending his deal further. But Tottenham, Everton and Wolves have all shown interest in Genesio.

Genesio stock on rise as Tottenham register interest

Tottenham fans will likely hope that Conte stays and nothing comes of their interest in Genesio. But the Frenchman is undoubtedly winning a lot of admirers.

Remarkably, Rennes have scored more goals than Paris Saint-Germain’s star-studded side. They also have the best goal difference in the league.

Tottenham came up against Rennes in one Europa Conference League game earlier this term. Conte did not get the chance to face off with Genesio in the end.

Perhaps the Rennes boss could now be the man to come in should Tottenham need to replace the Italian this summer.
