IN: Nicolo Zaniolo bears more than a passing resemblance to Brazil great Kaka with the way he glides across the pitch, eye for goal and ability to pick holes in opposition defences. Already a full Italy international, the 21-year-old would be a welcome support act for Harry Kane. Getty Images

The way Jose Mourinho celebrated Tottenham's sixth place finish in the Premier League you'd have thought he had won the lottery.

A 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on the final day of the campaign is hardly reason to crack open the finest champagne, but it did secure Europa League football - albeit against a team that had lost their previous seven games.

FC Union Berlin in Dortmund, Germany, 01 February 2020, re-issued 10 August 2020. Sancho will play in Dortmund for at least one more year, because the personal change period has expired. Sancho's contract (until 2022) has already been adjusted one year ago without public announcement and extended prematurely until 2023. The fact that Sancho could now exert pressure from his side to force a change at a later date is ruled out by Borussia and the player's agency, as reported on 10 August 2020.

6 players Manchester United should sign, 6 who should leave this transfer window

5 players Liverpool should sign, 6 they should offload

Quite a fall from grace for a club that contested the Champions League final the previous summer. But given Spurs' erratic form both before and after lockdown, sixth place and European football is probably the best Mourinho could have hoped for after replacing Mauricio Pochettino in November.

The Portuguese made one astute signing in January. Steve Bergwijn's impressive performances on arrival from PSV Eindhoven had many fans clamouring for him to be named the club's player of the year.

Mourinho will hope to find a few more like the Dutch forward in the upcoming transfer window, with the likes of Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo and Milan Skriniar of Inter Milan linked with a move to North London.
