But Feyenoord are ready to reward Slot for an incredible club season by offering him a new contract worth almost £3 million a year.

That may not sound like much by Premier League standards and Slot can certainly earn at least twice as much as at Spurs, but that represents a huge commitment from Feyenoord.

It is not yet known if Slot will sign a new contract. deal, but sources are adamant that Tottenham won't do things their way if chairman Daniel Levy makes a drastic move in favor of the 44-year-old.

Tottenham won't just have to pay Feyenoord around £6 million. as compensation for hiring Slot, Levy also had to guarantee him full control over the main team.
