Jose Mourinho has made a decent start to life in north London with Tottenham Hotspur, yet is as of now apparently pining for a key player from one of his previous clubs. 

As indicated by reports in Belgium, Mourinho has been in contact with Marouane Fellaini to tell him that marking him is his principle need in the January move window. 

Fellaini left Manchester United in January 2019 following five-and-a-half years with the club, moving to Shandon Luneng in the Chinese Super League. From that point forward, his exhibitions have been solid, with the Belgian scoring 12 objectives and including five aids 32 games. 

In his first meetings as Spurs director, Mourinho rushed to discuss the quality of the squad he had acquired from Mauricio Pochettino. Nonetheless, he's concerned he doesn't have a player of Fellaini's profile, subsequently the craving to entice him back to the Premier League. 

Fellaini was never the most prominent player at Old Trafford, and towards the end he got significant of the more unpleasant shod components of Mourinho's time at the club. 

Despite the fact that at first marked by David Moyes, Fellaini turned into a key piece of Jose Mourinho's residency at Old Trafford, with his physicality permitting Mourinho to play an immediate and forceful game. 

Their relationship is best delineated by a keepsake Mourinho kept in his office while at Manchester United. At the point when United were playing Young Boys in 2018, the game was goalless until damage time, when Fellaini got the victor. 

Incapable to conceal his feelings, Mourinho got a box of water bottles and tossed them to the ground. As indicated by The Athletic, Mourinho kept the case in his office as a token of that triumph. 

Fellaini isn't the main veteran player Mourinho has been connected with. He apparently sent scouts to watch Edin Dzeko at Roma, figuring the Bosnian could be an ideal reinforcement for Harry Kane.
