Since his arrival in the Belgian professional football League, the 21-year-old Nigerian star has been impressive for Anderlecht this season in all competitions.
Mourinho is one of the great managers who love and believe in African players considering those who have played under the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss.
The likes of former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi, Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast, Michael Essien of Ghana and many more played and succeeded under Jose Mourinho.
According to the report on Complete Sports, Jose Mourinho wants Paul Mukairu in his squad at the end of the ongoing Premier League season.
The young forward has scored two goals and recorded four assists in 19 league appearances for Vincent Kompany’s side.
However, Spurs chiefs must be aware that clubs like Roma, Arsenal and Leverkusen are also interested in the signature of the Nigerian forward.
There have also been talks among Nigerian sports reporters that Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is likely to invite Paul Mukairu for the coming 2022 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
