Jose Mourinho set to hijack Tottenham move for Bayern Munich legend

Tottenham have been dealt a huge transfer blow following reports that Jerome Boateng may be joining Roma instead.

Italian outlet Corriere della Serra claims that the defender’s agent has contacted the Serie A giants about a potential move to the club.

The report adds that Boateng’s camp are looking to take advantage of Roma’s sudden need for defensive reinforcements.

Jose Mourinho’s side will be without Leonardo Spinazzola for the rest of the year after the Italian’s horror injury at the Euros.

The defender ruptured his Achilles tendon in his country’s quarter-final win over Belgium and has since undergone surgery.

Monaco were also said to have been offered the 33-year-old’s services after SunSport revealed the Ligue 1 side’s interest back in May.
