Tottenham Hotspur's managerial search has been back and forth ever since they parted ways with Jose Mourinho, and someone who has been an ever-present in the conversation is Graham Potter, but Dean Windass is not so sure he's the right man.

It appeared that Spurs were staring down a black hole of who to turn to next but a fresh report from talkSPORT's Ian Abrahams has confirmed that it is now a two-horse race between Potter and Nuno Espirito Santo, with the latter being easier to appoint as he is no longer at Wolves.

A report from last month suggested that transfer supremo, Steve Hitchen, was going to recommend Potter as his number one candidate for the job to Daniel Levy and since then, Spurs have attempted to bring in Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte and Paulo Fonseca.

Spurs have not had a permanent English manager in the dugout since Harry Redknapp was appointed back in 2008, so it would be a bold move by Levy who knows Tottenham have to win some silverware soon but Potter could be a risky appointment, something Windass spoke exclusively to Transfer Tavern about:

"I'm not so sure about the Graham Potter's of this world but they would certainly go for the former Wolves manager, Nuno.

"Tottenham just need a little bit of stability again because it's a tough job at a big club so the one thing about that job is that the manager has got to be reassured that they are going to stay."

Potter has won himself a lot of plaudits during his time at Brighton after managing to turn the Seagulls into a great side to watch with their attack-minded style of play and it is assumed that if they had a goalscorer upfront, they would be nowhere near the relegation zone as they had an XG of 51.6 but only managed to score 40 goals.

Levy knows that he can't appoint another manager like Mourinho, someone who is pragmatic and doesn't want to play on the front foot because Tottenham fans want to get back to how they were under Pochettino, which was exciting and fun to watch.
