Tottenham chairman Levy unimpressed by PSG rumours for Conte

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is unhappy about rumours linking Antonio Conte with PSG.

The Italian tactician has emerged as a target for the Ligue 1 giants, who look set to part ways with Pochettino at the end of the season. And the timing of speculation regarding the 54-year-old's future has been a source of frustration for Spurs chairman Levy, says The Athletic.

The club will be keen to ignore reports about the future of their manager with a top-four finish on the line with only five games remaining.

The north London side are competing in a fierce battle with Arsenal after winning seven of their last 10 Premier League matches, although a goalless draw against Brentford has allowed the Gunners to leapfrog them into fourth.

Such distractions are nothing new for Levy and Tottenham, as only a year ago Harry Kane's future was put under the microscope. But the fact that Conte has been non-commital beyond the current campaign will provide some concern, while the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League last season makes them vulnerable to approaches for their prized assets.
