How Mourinho convinced me to join Tottenham - Fernandez

Gedson Fernandez has opened up on how he was convinced to joined Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.

According to the 21-year old who joined from Benfica, he couldn't turn down the opportunity to work with Mourinho.

Fernandez joined Tottenham on an 18-months loan deal which cost the London club £4.2million.

“I know the coach, because he’s a big coach,” Fernandes told the club’s website in his first interview.

“All players, all young players, want to work with him because he’s one of the best and all of us want to stay near the best. So it’s fantastic.

“I know the squad because I watch some games, like Moussa Sissoko. I know a little bit Eric Dier because he played in Portugal.”
