The Sun even asserted last week that the Manchester City legend has shot up to the top of Spurs’ wishlist.
The publication claimed that the Tottenham hierarchy have been ‘blown away’ by the work that Kompany has done since taking over at Burnley and the football he has got the Clarets playing.
However, Football Insider claimed on April 18th that the 36-year-old is likely to reject any advances from Spurs or their London rivals, Chelsea.
The report stated that while the Burnley boss was ‘flattered’ to be linked with such clubs, he is keen to take charge of the Clarets in the top flight next term.
This information has now been contradicted by Buckland, who has said that he heard from one source that the Belgian is ‘guaranteed’ to be Tottenham’s head coach.
The journalist said on The Tottenham Way Podcast (21/04/23): “I was told by an unreliable source and I made that clear which upset a few Burnley fans, but I heard from this source that said that Vincent Kompany was 100 per cent guaranteed to get the job and it was all sorted behind the scenes.”
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that Buckland himself describes the source as ‘unreliable’ is quite telling.
Given all that has happened over recent days at Spurs, with Paratici now resigning, I do not think the club would be anywhere close to finalising who their top candidate is, let alone striking a deal with someone.
