Mourinho wants Hojbjberg AND Milinkovic-Savic to boost Spurs midfield

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is determined to land a box-to-box midfielder this summer.

While prepared to work with Tanguy Ndombele next season, Mourinho remains eager to strengthen his midfield options.

Southampton ace Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is a priority target for Mourinho, with Spurs preparing to open talks over a fee with Saints management.

However, it isn't just the Dane who is on Tottenham's radar.

Foot Mercato says long-term target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is also wanted by Mourinho.

The Serb has been a target for the Spurs manager since his time in charge of Manchester United and discussions have been held with chairman Daniel Levy about how to fund a deal.

Mourinho is prepared to see several players sold in order to cover the price needed to convince Lazio to sell Milinkovic-Savic this summer.
