Five Players Jose Mourinho need to bring Tottenham back to winning ways

Ruben Dias

Mourinho might have reformed Spurs’ defence to a lesser extent – conceding fewer goals than they did before – but it is inadequate if Spurs are to push for the title challenge next year. Benfica defender Ruben Dias, whom the North Londoners have linked with, is the solution for Mourinho’s ageing defence. The Portugues centre-back would cost around 40million pounds, but it looks like a bargain for a player of his calibre. The 23-year-old is a well-rounded centre-back, excelling defensively as well as astute with his distribution.
