Tottenham Hotspur are struggling badly in the Premier League. The 2-1 defeat last week against West Ham United was their fifth in their last six games.

While Jose Mourinho remains confident about his coaching methods, it seems Spurs could take drastic measures if the results do not improve in the next fortnight.

According to reports from The Telegraph, Spurs “will place” RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann “at the top of a list of targets” to replace Mourinho if the dismal run of form continues.

The Portuguese boss apparently is facing a crucial 12 days to save his job. The results in this period will determine his fate, and also give an indication about whether the club make a move to appoint Nagelsmann.

The Leipzig boss is open to joining Spurs at the end of the season, but he is not prepared to leave mid-term which could buy Mourinho time to turn things around.

Nagelsmann is seen as one of the most exciting young managers in world football at the moment. Many Spurs fans have reacted to the news on Twitter:
