Spurs will back Mourinho in the transfer market

Tottenham Hotspur parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, and this morning (Wednesday) they confirmed the appointment of Jose Mourinho as head coach.

Much has been said about club chairman Daniel Levy being ‘tight’ with money, especially as they didn’t sign any players between January 2018 and the summer of 2019, though they did pay a lot of money for Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso a few months ago. They also completed and moved into their brand new stadium in that time.

However, Sky Sports believe that one of the conditions Mourinho set for the club was that he should be well backed in the transfer market, and he has their promise on that for the next two windows. However, they aren’t expected to be overly active in January, because the Portuguese coach feels the players already at his disposal at the moment are good enough to turn their abysmal season around.
