Roma coach Jose Mourinho has revealed Tottenham stopped him signing Napoli defender Kim Min-jae.

Roma meet Napoli later on Sunday.

I can tell you a story about one of their players. I spoke to him on FaceTime and wanted to buy him at Tottenham, but Tottenham didn't help me," said Mourinho.

The player cost 10m (euros), Tottenham offered 5. A deal could be done for 7-8m, but at that time Tottenham couldn't spend money. I spoke to the lad two or three times via FaceTime, he really wanted to come, but he couldn't come.

And now he's that 'rubbish' defender who plays there, Kim."
