The report claims that Toure has increased his workload in recent months and the club are pleased with his development and could reward him with a full-time contract.
Negotiations are set to begin following the conclusion of the Under 18 season with Spurs finishing ninth out of 14 in the south division.
Toure worked in a department overseen by academy manager Dean Rastrick, working alongside Chris Powell, and has had no direct involvement with the first team.
The former midfielder won three Premier League titles in eight seasons with Manchester City

The Ivorian, who hung up his boots in 2020, has previously spent time working with QPR and the FAW, and has held coaching positions at Ukrainian club Olimpik Donetsk and Russian side Akhmat Grozny.
However, with his family located in London, Toure was keen to build his experience closer to them and found Spurs to be accommodating.
He won seven major trophies at Barcelona, including two LaLiga titles and the Champions League, before moving to City in 2010 – where he played 316 times until 2018.
He scored the winner in the 2011 FA Cup final as the club won its first trophy in 35 years and went on to lift three Premier League titles and two League Cups in eight seasons at the Etihad.
