3 players Mourinho can sign including Gareth Bale after taking up Tottenham job

3 players Mourinho can sign including Gareth Bale in the upcoming transfer window, as the Portuguese manager takes up a job at Spurs.

In surprising news, Mauricio Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham Hotspurs, where the Argentine manager contributed more than five years. Further, only a few hours later the north London club announced the arrival of Jose Mourinho as his replacement.

Certainly, both the managers play different brands of football and for that Mourinho has to make some changes in the squad in order to play his style of game.

Moreover, Spurs also have their own set of problems in the current squad and Mourinho would be looking forward to minimizing them ahead of the January transfer window.

Although Daniel Levy is not a spender, but in this case, he might lose up his pockets in the next two windows to allow Mourinho to make his own transformations in the squad.

But the winter transfer windows doesn’t involve itself in intense business as compared to the summer transfer windows, probably because no team wants to unbalance itself in the midst of a season.

So, with the limited options and short time, we list out three candidates, which Mourinho might be interested in landing with the winter transfer season approaching soon.

Certainly, this stint did not go well with Real Madrid fans, nor it would go well with the bosses at Los Blancos. On the other hand, Bale is still a loved figure at Tottenham over where he found his fame. Thus, Mourinho can win the hearts of Spurs fans if he lands Bale.
