Holland coach Louis van Gaal has again hinted at a sensational move to Tottenham this summer, writes John Cross in Nice.

The Londoners' chairman Daniel Levy has twice flown over to meet Van Gaal and talk about him taking over at White Hart Lane after the summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Last week, Van Gaal said he was ONLY interested in the Premier League as his next destination, having already managed in his Dutch homeland, Spain and Germany.

And on Sunday, the 62-year-old - one of the biggest managerial names in the world - reiterated that he is up for the challenge and wants to move to England.

Van Gaal said: "I will definitely not be in charge for the European [Championship qualifying] campaign. I don't know where I will go next, normally I go with my pension, go to live in Portugal, but maybe there will come a new challenge.

"I have said before that a challenge should be a club in the Premier League. That's a challenge. Maybe Tottenham are coming, but first we have to go to Brazil."

Spurs boss Tim Sherwood, only on an 18-month contract after being promoted in December when Andre Villas-Boas was sacked, admitted recently that his job might not be safe even if they do finish in the top four.
