Jose Mourinho has made a good start to life in North London with Spurs, but is already reportedly pining for a key player from one of his former clubs.
According to reports in Belgium, Mourinho has been in contact with Marouane Fellaini to let him know that signing him is his main priority in the January transfer window.
Fellaini left Manchester United in January 2019 after five-and-a-half years with the club, moving to Shandon Luneng in the Chinese Super League. Since then, his performances have been strong, with the Belgian scoring 12 goals and adding 5 assists in 32 games.
Though initially signed by David Moyes, Fellaini became a key part of Jose Mourinho's tenure at Old Trafford, with his physicality allowing Mourinho to play a direct and aggressive game.
Their relationship is best illustrated by a memento Mourinho kept in his office whilst at Manchester United. When United were playing Young Boys in 2018, the game was goalless until injury time, when Fellaini grabbed the winner.
Fellaini isn't the only veteran player Mourinho has been linked with. He reportedly sent scouts to watch Edin Dzeko at Roma, thinking the Bosnian could be a perfect backup for Harry Kane.
