Mourinho praises 'thrifty' Spurs
Jose Mourinho has praised Tottenham for their transfer dealings this summer.
Thrifty Spurs have failed to sign anyone yet this window and have only allowed unwanted Kyle Walker move to Manchester City for £52m.
“I don’t think we are big candidates for the title but we are,” Mourinho said.
“Everybody speaks about the dimension of the investment at Man City but there is another team that I feel the dimension of their investment is also phenomenal – Tottenham.
“Until now they spent zero pounds, right?
“They keep everybody they want to keep. They keep Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Toby Alderweireld, they keep Eric Dier, they keep everyone they want to keep.
“They sold Kyle Walker I think because they wanted to sell.
“And probably because they think Kieran Trippier is as good as Walker. And he’s younger than Walker. Chelsea are champions and they buy now.
“We are halfway through the market and they buy Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata. So every club makes different kinds of investments but all of them are investing a lot to win the title.” Read full new
