During his first season in charge at Tottenham, Jose Mourinho may have found out some of the difficulties that have hampered former Spurs managers.
Mourinho started well after taking over from the sacked Mauricio Pochettino, but the Portuguese manager’s honeymoon period quickly turned, and Spurs eventually finished in sixth-place.
However, the former Chelsea boss will have a chance to bring some fresh faces to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, as he looks to make the squad his own.
With that being said, here are the very latest Tottenham-related transfer rumours from today.
Spurs join race for Diallo
Tottenham have joined new Premier League rivals, Leeds United, in the race for striker Habib Diallo, according to L'Equipe, via Sport Witness.
Leeds are keen on the Senegal international as they look to support Patrick Bamford in their first season back in the top-flight.
However, Marcelo Bielsa’s side may not have it all their own way, as Spurs have now entered the race, according to the report.
Diallo had a fine season for FC Metz, scoring 12 goals in 26 Ligue 1 games, and has attracted the interest of two Premier League sides.
Milik price could be reduced
Tottenham are reportedly interested in Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik, and his price could be reduced this summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sport Witness.
The Italian publication states that if Milik is not sold this summer, and decides to let his contract in Naples run out, then he will not be in the first-team next season.
However, there is interest in the Poland striker, with Juventus and Spurs named as the two clubs who are after him.
Spurs are very keen on the 26-year-old, but do not want to spend the reported €40m asking price, and the report suggests that Mourinho’s side should be able to get the fee reduced due to Napoli’s “need for money”.
Benfica chase Vertonghen deal
Portuguese side Benfica are interested in signing the out-of-contract Jan Vertonghen, according to Record.
The newspaper is reporting that Benfica manager Jorge Jesus has contacted Mourinho to try and find out some more information on the Belgian defender.
Benfica are after a left-footed defender, and see Vertonghen as someone who can help them fight for the Portuguese title.
The 33-year-old spent eight years in north London, making 315 appearances for the club in the process.
