Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has been heavily linked with the job at Paris Saint-Germain over the last few weeks.

The Italian only joined Spurs back in November last year. Results have often gone against him since his appointment but it has to be said that Tottenham have thoroughly improved under his management.

The North Londoners’ most recent result was a 0-0 draw against Brentford. That is a serious dent to their top-four hopes, especially as Arsenal won their game against Manchester United at the weekend.

If Spurs fail to make it into the Champions League next season, there’s a good chance Conte could look elsewhere. Tottenham, however, are doing everything they can to avoid that situation.

Tottenham promise they’ll back Antonio Conte this summer

The Times revealed this week that Conte is eyeing the Paris Saint-Germain job, which currently belongs to former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine led the Parisians to the French league title just a few days ago. However, that may not be enough to save his job after his side’s failure to get past the Round of 16 in the Champions League.

Zinedine Zidane is reportedly PSG’s preferred option to replace Pochettino but if the Frenchman turns down an offer, Conte will be the man they turn to.

However, Tottenham have promised the Italian that they will back him in the upcoming summer transfer window, perhaps to convince him to stay where he is.

Tottenham’s aim has to be to finish inside the top four and even though the Arsenal are currently ahead of them, all Conte’s men have to do is win their remaining games to make it over the line.

However, that’s easier said than done at the moment and considering how poor Spurs’ form has recently been, there’s a good chance they’ll finish outside the top four.

Irrespective of where Tottenham finish in the league table, they simply have to back Conte in the transfer window. They need to give him almost everything he wants as he’s their best chance of winning a silverware anytime soon.

If PSG come in with an offer, it’s hard to imagine that Conte will turn them down. However, if Spurs seriously back him in the summer, he may well decide to stay put.
