Wilder: Mourinho among best in modern era

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was full of praise for Jose Mourinho ahead of his side’s clash against Tottenham on Thursday.

“You’re always judged, aren’t you? You’re judged as a manager, you’re judged as a player and you’re always judged as a team in the short term.

“For me, the only time to reflect on it is when he finishes and that’s the only time to make a judgement on it in my opinion. I’m a big fan of him.”

The Belgian recently admitted to wanting a move to the Premier League, putting English clubs on high alert.

And Spurs are said to be among those who will move in for the 24-year-old, having targeted the 24-year-old even before his comments.

Atalanta will no doubt want to make a big profit on the €6.5m they spent on Castagne three years ago, but face the prospect of losing him for free next summer when the defender’s contract expires.
