Mauricio Pochettino is expected to sign a new Spurs deal by the end of the season
Pochettino, 44, has been offered a new three-year deal at Spurs.
The move is in effort to prevent potential suitors snapping up the Argentine manager, who this season has led Spurs in their first title challenge for decades.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked in the past with a swoop for the boss, although neither Premier League outfit appear set to sign him.
Express Sport understand he will be offered a three-year, £4.5m-a-season contract, which would make him the fourth-highest paid Premier League manager.
Spurs host Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League tomorrow night and are tasked with overturning a 3-0 defeat from the first leg of their last-16 clash in Germany.
