Andoni Iraola is ready to commit his future to Bournemouth and rule out a potential summer move to Tottenham.

Spurs have made Iraola their top manager target if Ange Postecoglou leaves at the end of the season.

But the Telegraph report the 42-year-old from Spain is “inclined” to stay at Bournemouth beyond this season.

Iraola has done a hugely impressive job since being appointed by Bournemouth in 2023 and their 1-0 win over Fulham on Monday boosted their hopes of European qualification.

He has one year left on his contract and Bournemouth want to tie him down to a new deal.

Iraola committing his future to Bournemouth would be a blow for Spurs, given he would be expected to be a leading candidate to replace Postecoglou next season.

Fulham manager Marco Silva and Brentford boss Thomas Frank are likely to other names in the mix for the Spurs job if Postecoglou departs.

Iraola’s brand of exciting, high-energy attacking football has caught the attention of top clubs around Europe and his stock is high.

He would be in the running for other big jobs that become available this summer, including a possible vacancy at Real Madrid if Carlo Ancelotti is sacked.

Postecoglou’s future at Spurs is uncertain, with their season hinging on their Europa League quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt. The tie is level at 1-1 going into Thursday’s second leg in Germany.
