Tottenham Hotspur will make a move for Jose Mourinho should Harry Redknapp take over the vacant England job, according to Spanish media reports this morning.

White Hart Line officials face the prospect of losing Redknapp following the resignation of national team boss Fabio Cappello, with bookmakers making the Spurs manager favourite to succeed the Italian.

Spanish daily, AS are now reporting that Mourinho is the number one target for Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and he is already preparing a move for the Real Madrid coach should Redknapp decide to quit.

Mourinho has widely been tipped to walk out on the Spanish league leaders at the end of the season and is reported to favour a move back to the Premier League.

Redknapp has guided Tottenham to third place in the league this season, seven points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea.
