Leicester City fullback Ricardo Pereira is being linked with Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.

The Daily Express says the fullback fuelled speculation as he admitted the new Spurs boss is "one of the best coaches in the world".

Mourinho could pursue the 23-year-old to fill the void left by Kieran Trippier - who joined Atletico Madrid for £20million in July.

Pereira, who was heavily linked to Juventus in the summer, is delighted to see The Special One back in the Premier League.

Mourinho has already set his sights on a handful of players since he was appointed to replace Mauricio Pochettino earlier this week.
