Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho looks set for a busy summer after taking charge of AS Roma. The Portuguese coach will replace Paulo Fonseca this summer following his April departure from Tottenham. Among those on Mourinho’s rumoured hit list is Arsenal midfield star Granit Xhaka. Mikel Arteta has stuck by him as a key figure but Mourinho will be hoping to press the Spanish coach over a £25m deal. With no European football at the club next season, Arteta’s own budget is likely to be slashed, and the removal of a divisive figure like Xhaka could boost squad morale.
