Fulham send clear hands-off message to Tottenham ahead of summer window
Just as speculation linking Marco Silva with a move to Tottenham intensifies, Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan has now come out to issue a clear statement about the Portuguese coach’s future.
Over the last few days, Spurs have learned that they could end up missing out on the man who is widely reported to be their managerial target.
It has been claimed that Andoni Iraola is now leaning towards remaining at Bournemouth for one more season and may potentially extend his deal at the Vitality Stadium.
This development could see Tottenham turn their attention to another Premier League manager, with Marco Silva also thought to be high on Spurs’ wishlist.

Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan, who is the son of the club’s owner, Shahid Khan, has now responded to the media speculation about the Cottagers’ head coach.

When asked about Silva’s future, Khan told BBC Sport: “Marco is a huge, huge asset to Fulham Football Club. He is such an amazing person and he is so important to the football club.
“Marco has a great relationship with my father and myself, and we really love Marco and we want him to stay at Fulham Football Club forever. He is a huge part of what we have got going for the future and the present and he is a great man.”
Pundit issues a warning to Daniel Levy about Marco Silva
One can see why the Fulham boss is admired by the Tottenham hierarchy, given the style of football he delivers and the success he has had at West London on a modest budget.
However, Troy Deeney has warned Daniel Levy that Silva will not be a ‘yes’ man, as he is not afraid of telling things as they are.
The former Watford man questioned if that could cause some friction between the Portuguese coach and the Tottenham board, given the way the Spurs hierarchy work.
