Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in appointing Fulham boss Marco Silva as Ange Postecoglou’s successor this summer, talkSPORT has revealed.
The Lilywhites reportedly retain interest in the Portuguese tactician’s services, despite being heavily linked with a move for former Ajax coach Francesco Farioli this week.
Silva recently rejected a big-money move to Saudi Arabia and wants to continue his career in Europe after yet another impressive campaign at Craven Cottage.
Fulham are on course to finish mid-table for a third season in a row under the Portuguese manager, as they sit 10th in the Premier League with one game to play.

According to talkSPORT, Tottenham see Silva as an alternative to Farioli, who is highly admired by their former managing director of football, Fabio Paratici.
The 52-year-old executive, who is closing in on a return to North London, is reportedly a huge fan of his Italian compatriot, now a free agent after leaving Ajax this week.
Silva, meanwhile, has a year left on his deal with Fulham and has been heavily linked with a departure in recent months amid growing interest from Tottenham.
The ‘genius’ manager, who won titles in Greece and Portugal, was even named among the ‘main names’ to replace Postecoglou at Spurs by Fabrizio Romano last month, alongside Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.
Tottenham could part ways with Postecoglou regardless of the Europa League final outcome on Wednesday amid their woeful domestic campaign.
The Lilywhites are on course for their worst-ever Premier League finish, as they sit 17th in the table with one game to go, having won just once in their last 11 matches.
