Paulo Dybala lifts lid on phone call with Jose Mourinho that swung transfer decision

Paulo Dybala has revealed he was persuaded to join Roma after speaking to Jose Mourinho for just "a few minutes" on the phone.

The Argentina international, 28, signed a three-year deal with Roma in July and has made an excellent start to life in the Italian capital, scoring three goals and providing two assists in six Serie A appearances. He's also scored once in the Europa League this term.

Several teams were linked with Dybala before he joined Roma - including Arsenal, Tottenham and Inter Milan - but Mourinho persuaded him to become part of his squad. He was available on a free transfer after his contract at Serie A rivals Juventus expired.
