THERE'S nothing quite like a tabloid 'exclusive' for leaving the Great British public flummoxed. Take Tuesday morning and the speculation over the future of Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp. There's no denying he's a sought-after tactician, one of the best coaches in the Bundesliga, who last season took Dortmund to the Champions League final. No surprise, then, that the 46-year-old is expected to move on to a fresh challenge next season.

But where? According to 'exclusive' number one in Tuesday's Sun, Klopp is Tottenham's top target as they look to replace Tim Sherwood for next season, The paper says that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who appointed Sherwood manager of the Lilywhites in December after the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas, believes Klopp is the man to "revive Spurs' fortunes" after another dismal season in which, barring a minor miracle, they will fail to qualify for the Champions League.
