Mourinho mum on £20m rated Super Eagles target

Super Eagles target, Eberechi Eze hopes of securing a dream move to Tottenham may have been scuttled with the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.

The £20million-rated midfielder has been tracked by the majority of Premier League clubs after making a huge impact in the Championship with Queens Park Rangers.

Prior to his sack, Pochettino had instructed his scouts to monitor the youngster ahead of the January transfer window.

With Pochettino out, it remains to be seen if Jose Mourinho would be interested in signing the midfielder who has so far scored nine goals in the 20 matches in the championship this season.

Mourinho has been told there would be money available for him to make signings if he wants to when the transfer window opens next month.

But the Tottenham boss is keen to take his time to weigh up which areas of his squad need strengthening before he goes into the marker.

The 21-year-old is one of the stand-out players in the Championship and has already been accelerated into the England under-21 squad.

QPR had been expecting the bid to arrive next month, but now they could be able to keep hold of Eze until the end of the season.
