Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho ‘targets five players as part of summer rebuild’

The north London club’s financial situation mean they have little room to manoeuvre in the transfer market this summer. 

The pandemic has blown a £200million hole in their revenues and Mourinho will have to sell before he can buy and rely on free transfers, loans and swap deals in the  the summer transfer window.
