Crystal Palace fear Glasner will jump ship amid major Tottenham move
Tottenham are likely to be in the market for a new manager this summer, and have already identified several targets.
Ange Postecoglou is in danger of losing his job even if he wins the Europa League, with Spurs aiming to recover from a disastrous season.
Tottenham need fresh ideas, and these could come from Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, who has been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park.
Glasner could leave Palace amid Tottenham and Leipzig interest
Glasner only joined Crystal Palace midway through last season, but he has quickly established himself as a popular figure there.
Palace have reached the FA Cup final, and the Austrian has endeared himself to the fanbase while transforming some of the players within his squad.

It was recently reported that Spurs have made contact with Glasner’s representatives over a potential move, and there has now been another development.
talkSPORT (May 6) have now revealed that RB Leipzig want to lure Glasner away from Palace, to replace recently dismissed coach Marco Rose.
It is claimed that Palace now “fear” losing Glasner, and would like to sign him to a new contract, but he will wait to see what kind of backing he is set for in the transfer market.
Glasner would be perfect for Tottenham
If Postecoglou does depart, then Glasner would be the ideal replacement, if Tottenham can convince him to join.
Glasner came into a struggling Palace side and revitalised them, with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Will Hughes among others hitting their best form under him.
Despite losing a key player in Michael Olise last summer, Palace have still improved under Glasner, and he is now on the verge of major silverware and European qualification.
If Spurs are to lure him away from Jurgen Klopp’s clutches at Leipzig, they will need to back Glasner to make a similar impact on the Tottenham squad, and will have to back him in the transfer market.
Several high-profile managers have failed at Spurs in recent years, and Daniel Levy will need to ensure he has the resources to succeed if Glasner is to avoid following the route taken by Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte.
