José Mourinho hopes to indicate to Tottenham Hotspur captain, Heung-Min and a Chelsea striker in Fenerbahce, to a report.
Mourinho has used his Premier League connections to improve the Fenerbahce squad with the arrivals of players such as Allan Saint-Maximin and Caglar Soyuncu. But the Portuguese icon knows more additions are needed if Fenerbahce are to catch up with rivals Galatasaray, who won the Super Lig title last season and currently have an eight-point lead on Mourinho’s side.
Mourinho knows Tottenham well from his time in charge of the North London club and is a big admirer of their skipper Son.
The Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport says that his son is on the list of most sensible preferences of Mourinho and Fenerbahce for the January movement window.
The striker would generally be untouchable in the Spurs, given everything he has done for the club, Fenerbahce has been put on alert through his contract situation.
Spurs bosses have yet to enter contract meetings with Son’s entourage, even though their existing deal expires in June.
This means Fenerbahce can enter negotiations to sign the South Korea superstar in either a cut-price winter deal or on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
Son is not the only big name on Mourinho’s radar. The report adds that he is also keen on Portuguese compatriot Joao Felix, who has struggled to make a significant impact at Chelsea this term.
Felix only returned to Chelsea during the summer, joining an agreement of 46 million pounds sterling (55. 5 million pounds sterling / $ 57 million), but he is Cole Pale in the hierarchical order and basically had to depend on competitions such as the league and European Cup League for departures.
Further afield, Mourinho wants to reunite with his former Roma star Nicola Zalewski in Turkey.
The left midfielder should be the easiest player for Fenerbahce to sign out of the three. He is valued by Roma at around €5m (£4.1m / $5.1m), a fee well within Fenerbahce’s reach.
Fenerbahce are not the only side to have been linked with Son in recent months. Indeed, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and even Turkish rivals Galatasaray have all been named as potential suitors.
In November, Fabrizio Romano said Spurs looked to ignite his option to opt out of the 32-year contract until the summer of 2026.
Spurs bosses want to speed up that procedure as groups line up to signal their son, who has earned 169 goals in 430 appearances, for Spurs to identify as a club icon.
Meanwhile, Spurs have snubbed the opportunity to land former Everton defender Ben Godfrey, despite being ‘offered’ his services.
Godfrey is about to leave Atalanta this month, while the Italians considered him surplus to their project.
But spurs can bring most of the center to improve the back line of ANGE Postcoglou after a disappointing first part of the season.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Milan Skriniar are two players on Spurs’ shortlist. Although, Thomas Kristensen is a player Spurs could swoop for first.
According to the football insider, Spurs are “in a race” to beat central defender Udinese, who represents Denmark U21 on the scene.
The Spurs will have to defend Bayer, Leverkusen and Leicester City to land the imposing defender of 6 feet and 5 inches.
