Mourinho 'mentality appeals to me' - Dier

Spurs turned to the Portuguese boss last month after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked following a mostly successful five-and-a-half-year spell in charge of the north London club.

It was regarded as a big gamble with many, believing Mourinho's habit of spending big money would conflict with Daniel Levy’s preferred running of the club.

However, for now, at least, Mourinho has appeared to have got a reaction from his squad after winning four of the first five games in charge, with the 5-0 thrashing of Burnley on Saturday the latest positive result.

Spurs are looking devastating from an attacking point of view after scoring 16 goals in five games across all competitions.
