Here is your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest on Friday, September 16.
Tanganga interest
Jose Mourinho has his eyes set on his former player, Japhet Tanganga. As per Rudy Galetti of Calciomercato, Roma are expected to contact several clubs in the coming weeks as they look to sign a new centre-back in January. Among those on their wish list is Manchester United's Victor Lindelof, Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah and Spurs' Tanganga.

Galetti said on Twitter: "In the coming weeks, new contacts are expected with agents of #Lindelof (#MUTD), #Tanganga (#THFC) and #Chalobah (#CFC) to understand the chances for January."
Dier recall
Eric Dier has earned a recall to the England squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League games. Last involved in a Three Lions squad back in March 2021, the centre-back's call-up is fully deserved after a strong start to the season for Tottenham.
A pivotal part of Antonio Conte's three-man defence, the ex-Sporting CP has been a key figure in Spurs' transformation under the Italian. Many fans had called for Dier to be recalled to the England reckoning earlier in the year but Gareth Southgate elected against naming the 28-year-old then.

Bissouma struggles outlined
Conte has stated that Yves Bissouma is currently struggling with the "tactical aspect" at Tottenham. A huge hit at Brighton & Hove Albion over the past few seasons, the midfielder made the switch to Spurs in the summer in a £30million deal.
Behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur in the pecking order at present, he has mainly had to make do with minutes off the bench. Bissouma did start in the recent 1-1 draw against West Ham but he struggled to make a real impact on proceedings during the game in east London.
