Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Tottenham set to revive Conte pursuit

Tottenham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo could be sacked after the club's 3-0 loss to Manchester United, the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/10/31/exclusive-nuno-espirito-santo-could-face-immediate-sack-tottenham/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a> reports. The home defeat against the Red Devils showcased the latest in a long line of dire performances under the Portuguese trainer and prompted urgent talks at board level.

Liverpool are keen on signing Leicester City star Harvey Barnes - according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/fichajes-liverpool-harvey-barnes-elegido-klopp-20211030.html" target="_blank">Fichajes</a>. The 23-year-old has been touted to compete with Sadio Mane for a regular place in the Reds' front three if the Reds can arrange a deal when the transfer window reopens. Barnes fits Klopp's typical profile for an all-action winger, but he is contracted to remain at Leicester until 2025.

Tottenham are set to revive their pursuit of ex-Inter and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte - according to <a href="https://www.alfredopedulla.com/esclusiva-espirito-santo-in-bilico-il-tottenham-vuole-riprovarci-con-conte/" target="_blank">Alfredo Pedulla</a>. Spurs tried and failed to bring in the Italian in the summer and ended up appointing Nuno Espirito Santo, who is already under pressure after a poor start to the season. If Santo is unable to oversee a swift turnaround in fortunes Tottenham could make another play for Conte, but he is also in the frame for the top job at Manchester United.

Liverpool are considering a swoop for Real Madrid forward Luka Jovic - according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/liverpool-une-puja-luka-jovic-peticion-klopp-20211030.html" target="_blank">Fichajes</a>. Jurgen Klopp has long been an admirer of the 23-year-old and could look to bring him to Anfield next year to provide extra cover upfront. Jovic has failed to score in his opening six appearances for Real this season, and it has been suggested that the Spanish giants are ready to cut their losses on the Serbian.

Paulo Fonseca &amp; Sergio Conceicao are among the prime candidates to replace Nuno Espirito Santo at Tottenham, per <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-manager-news-latest-2021-nuno-espirito-santo-paulo-fonseca-sergio-conceicao-b963535.html" target="_blank">the Independent</a>. The Portuguese is expected to be handed the sack following Saturday's loss to Manchester United. Given the difficulty the club had in finding Jose Mourinho's successor previously, it is odd they would part ways so soon - but they look to already have multiple candidates in the pipeline now.

Ryan Mason will be installed as Tottenham's caretaker boss until Chrismas, <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-to-sack-nuno-today-as-30-year-old-set-to-replace-him/" target="_blank">Football Insider</a> claims. The sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo is thought to be just hours away, but Spurs do not yet have a suitable full-time replacement lined up to take the Portuguese trainer's place. As such, Mason, who spent seven matches in charge of the Lilywhites following Jose Mourinho's dismissal, will take charge of the team in the interim.
