Arsenal legend Ray Parlour thinks his former club should steer clear of Jose Mourinho.

Parlour thinks the Gunners and Spurs would be wise to avoid bringing in Mourinho, who he says has a history of spending big money on signings.

"I do [think Pochettino is the right man for Spurs], who else would you go for? If you're going to get rid of a manager, you have to have a plan. But Mourinho wherever he has gone, he has always had money to spend," he told talkSPORT.

"Have Spurs got the money to spend? They haven't given it to Pochettino, you'd think they would give it to Pochettino first.

"Arsenal are in the same situation. Would they look at Mourinho? They haven't got the money to spend either."
