Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy sees Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho as the manager to lead them into their new stadium.

The Mirror says Mourinho, who flew into London on a whistle-stop trip on Friday, has let it be known that he wants to return to the Premier League, and Spurs and his former club Chelsea are the obvious options.

And with Spurs looking to start work on their new 55,000 capacity home in the next 12 months, having Mourinho as the public figurehead of the club would be a massive financial pull.

The Portuguese is understood to be ready to embrace a long-term project rather that opt for another short-term fix.
