PREMIER LEAGUE | Mourinho opens the doors to his first signing at Tottenham

The Premier League adventure of whatever Mourinho’s first purchase at Tottenham, it’s very close to the end. Gedson Fernandes arrived at Spurs in January 2020 in the form of a one and a half year loan from Benfica where At just 21, he was one of the great promises of his championship.

The midfielder has come to be important in Portugal, despite having a difficult start to the season due to injury, but in his first months in England he played only 61 minutes in the Premier League divided into seven games. This season there is no better luck and that’s it he was only called up for a championship match Y He only dressed short in the confrontation against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup where he played 63 minutes.

That is why it was spoken a possible return to Benfica in advance, so Giuseppe Mourinho left the door wide open. “I understand the situation of the boy and of Benfica. If you want to end the relationship here, we will be available to cooperate as we want the best for the player. Benfica can decide and we will accept it “, said the Portuguese in an interview with SportTV.

Mourinho added that he will not be the one to push him out because he wants it but he understands the player. A very different situation is the one you live with Carlos Vinicius, another loan from Benfica at the end of this market to be the replacement for Kane that Tottenham needed for a long time. The front started off on the right foot accumulating 223 minutes, most in the Europa Leagueand after giving two assists. “He will play many times, will have the chance in the Premier League and will be able to convince Tottenham to buy him. Otherwise he will return to Benfica much more “done”. This operation is good for all three parties, “explained Mourinho.

It is therefore likely that Gedson Fernandes returns to Benfica to feel important again and continue to grow your promising career. Vinicius will remain at Tottenham as a second striker to rest Kane and take advantage of the opportunities offered to him with the great goal of settling into the Spurs squad.
