Julian Nagelsmann is interested in the Tottenham job if Jose Mourinho is sacked, according to reports.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has come under increased pressure in recent weeks after a run of five defeats in six game in the Premeir League.
Nagelsmann has a contract with Leipzig until 2023.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy reportedly sees the German as the ideal candidate to take over from Mourinho.
The highly-rated German coach, 33, has been linked with a move to North London in the past.
However, there is no suggestion Mourinho’s future is being considered.
But Nagelsmann has revealed in an interview with Bild that a move to the Premier League would be an attractive proposition.
He said: “The Premier League is a very interesting league and I can imagine it could be a big aim to be a big manager in the Premier League one day like Jurgen, who is very successful.
“It could be a step in the future. You know, in football it’s not that easy to plan ‘how long will you be a manager in Leipzig? When will you go to the Premier League?’.
“I could imagine going to the Premier League.
“I could imagine staying as a manager in the Bundesliga for my whole career. It’s cool to be a manager in my own country, I love it.
“Then perhaps in the future we can meet face-to-face in the Premier League, who knows.”
