Mourinho tried to sign Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld in his last job, but Dele Alli and Giovani Lo Celso may not suit his style

Spurs make the short trip to West Ham on Saturday lunchtime in need of three points. They are 14th in the Premier League, six points above the relegation zone and without a win in their last five league matches. José Mourinho’s first challenge as manager is to win an away match in the league, something Mauricio Pochettino failed to do in his last 12 attempts.
Spurs’ last away win in the league came on a cold, winter evening at Craven Cottage in January – and they only won that match thanks to a 93rd-minute goal from Harry Winks. Since that victory over Fulham, Tottenham have lost nine away games in the league and drawn the other three. To make matters worse, they have given up leads at Southampton, Arsenal, Leicester, Liverpool and, most recently, Everton. Mourinho has the opportunity to end this disappointing run and set a course for the top four. But, looking beyond their trip to the London Stadium, who stands to win and lose from his appointment?
