Conte, 51, is said to be concerned over the quality of Spurs’ squad, and their ability to contend at the top of the division.
But assurances from Daniel Levy, as well as a nice pay packet, should soon see to those worries.
According to the Mirror, Conte could be offered an incredible salary of up to £15m-a-year – in addition to funds being made available to spend on the squad.
Levy, 59, is also reportedly bullish over his chances of keeping Harry Kane at Tottenham.
And Conte is eager to work with the England skipper.
Should the Italian take the job, only Pep Guardiola would earn more than him in the Premier League.
The former Barcelona boss rakes in around £20m per season at Manchester City.
While Conte’s new salary would tie him with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
