Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Eric Dier has thrown his weight behind under-pressure Jose Mourinho ahead of their Premier League clash with Everton.

The England international has branded suggestions that the Portuguese boss has lost his dressing room as crazy.

The Lily Whites were defeated by Sheffield United 3-1 over the weekend which has seen Spurs slipped to the bottom half of the table.

Legit.ng also reported that current Tottenham manager, Jose Mourinho, has been described by his former player, Wesley Sneijder, as a complete football gaffer who knows what he wants for his team.

There is no doubt about the fact that Jose Mourinho is one of the best football coaches in the world considering his achievements since he started his coaching career.

When he was coach of the Italian side, Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho achieved incredible successes winning the League title and even the Champions League.
