Speaking in a Q&A for football.london [13:16], reliable journalist Alasdair Gold has claimed that heavily linked sporting director Luis Campos would be ‘perfect for Spurs‘ whilst also stating that the 55-year-old would ‘follow Mourinho anywhere‘ – but in order for the appointment to happen, he would have to depart current side Lille.
Campos, who has recently been touted to sign on at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under the employment of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, is at the centre of heavy interest due to his past reputation of discovering ‘uncut gems‘ for his clubs.
Should Campos be Spurs' number one priority?
Yes, imagine him in north London
No
Indeed, the Portuguese figurehead has helped to develop some of the most exciting talents on the continent, including the likes of Bernardo Silva, Thomas Lemar, Anthony Martial and Nicolas Pepe during his time in France – with Spurs reportedly interested in his services.
However, despite recent claims, journalist Gold has stated that there are now ‘doubts‘ that he even asked to depart Lille in the first place – even if he would be ‘perfect‘ for Tottenham.
Even if nothing appears to be ‘imminent‘ surrounding Campos’ departure, the Spurs correspondent also ‘wouldn’t bet‘ against the director moving to north London in future – even if he would be ‘inundated‘ with offers from other top European outfits.
It’s no secret that certain Lilywhites throughout the land would be keen to see Campos arrive through the doors, and while this latest update from Gold proves nothing is set in stone, it could potentially outline that Mourinho’s presence would be a key factor in the transfer guru’s arrival.
