According to Voetbal 24, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho wants to sign Marouane Fellaini in the summer of 2021.
It has been reported that Mourinho has told Spurs to sign Fellaini, having worked with the midfielder at Manchester United.
The report has added that the former Everton star is ready to end his contract at Chinese club Shandong Luneng and move to Spurs.
Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur?
Fellaini is not everyone’s cup of tea, but the fact of the matter is that the 33-year-old was a success in the Premier League.
The 33-year-old flourished at Everton under David Moyes – now in charge of West Ham United – and played over 100 Premier League games for United and featured in the Champions League as well.
Former United midfielder Roy Keane described the Belgian as “a good player” in The Telegraph in June 2016.
While Fellaini can still do a good job in the Premier League, Spurs need to aim higher and must look at someone younger and who can get better.
True, Mourinho knows all about the Belgian, but the midfielder is past his prime and cannot be seen as a long-term midfield option.
