Former England manager Sam Allardyce does not see Gareth Southgate leaving the national team for Tottenham.
There are suggestions that Spurs would look to England boss Southgate if they lose Mauricio Pochettino to Real Madrid this summer.
But Allardyce, who also had a very short stint in charge of England, does nots ee why Southgate would give up a great job with England.
He told talkSPORT when asked about the possibility of Southgate going to Tottenham: "It depends on his own ambitions, on whether he thinks he's got something to prove by coming to manage in the Premier League, because obviously his Middlesbrough days didn't last very long or end too well because he got thrown in the deep end.
"Obviously he's learnt an awful lot from then to now. I think his partnership with [assistant] Steve Holland is extremely good and that relationship is excellent.
"They may fancy a dabble back [in the Premier League], but it's a big ask leaving England to go and manage in the Premier League.
"At some point or other, it depends on the situation of the FA being willing to let him go, Gareth wanting to go, and how much the compensation would be and whether [Tottenham chairman] Daniel Levy is willing to pay it.
"I can't see him going before the Euros and I can't see Mauricio going anywhere at the moment."
