DBasia.news – Although often associated with Gareth Bale and Bruno Fernandes, Jose Mourinho claimed he would not change Tottenham Hotspir’s squad as a whole when the January 2020 winter transfer window opened. He stressed that he was glad working with every player at Tottenham at the moment.
The Portuguese coach was appointed as the Spurs’ boss on Wednesday morning, just 11 hours after Mauricio Pochettino was kicked off the bench following unsatisfactory results at the start of the 2019/20 season.
Despite breaking into the Champions League final last season, the north London club have won only three of their 12 opening matches in the Premier League this season and have fallen to 14th in the standings.
This condition raises the assumption that Mourinho will make major changes in the squad, with Sporting midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, being the last player to be linked to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Real Madrid wing, Gareth Bale, was also said to be on the transfer radar, but the former Manchester United boss explained that he was glad working with the current squad.
“The best prize is the player who is here. I don’t need a new player. I just need to get to know this one better, “Mou told reporters.
“I know them but you never know them well until you meet them.
“I told the
players I came here because of them. I tried to purchase for a different club
and some didn’t even try because you know how difficult it is. “
