Paulo Dybala's admission which is bad news for Spurs and Jose Mourinho ahead of January window

Paulo Dybala to Tottenham Hotspur was one of the biggest transfer sagas during the summer window.

At one stage it appeared the Lilywhites were going to pull off a stunning £64.4m deal, only for the Argentina international's image rights issues to ensure deadline day ended in disappointment.

Although, that has not stopped speculation.

In fact, with just over a month until the January transfer window opens there has been talk of Spurs going back in for Dybala.

However, judging by what the forward has said about life under new head coach Maurizio Sarri following his departure of Massimiliano Allegri, it would appear that a move in the new year is off the table.

"The way the team is led has changed," he told El Pais, as per Football Italia. "[Sarri] has a completely different way of understanding the game.

"For me, and maybe even the rest of the attackers, it’s more fun.

"We keep the ball more and we're creating lots of chances. This gives you chances to take and do something different because you know you will get another go.

"You learn to play quickly and attack all the time. There are games where we create 20 chances. You can only imagine what this means for a striker."

Interestingly, last month football.london reported that Spurs might have been interested in a deal for Dybala in January.

But that was when Mauricio Pochettino was head coach.

Of course, former Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is now in the dugout and it remains to be seen if he has any plans to bolster his playing squad in the winter window.

With that said, it appears unlikely that Dybala will be in any rush to leave Juve.
