5 Tottenham Hotspur players who are out of favour under Jose Mourinho

#3 Erik Lamela

Erik Lamela

Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min are in good form up front for Tottenham Hotspur this season, and the likes of Steven Bergwjin, Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius have had a decent presence in the attacking third.

That has meant Erik Lamela, one of the longest-serving players at Tottenham Hotspur,,finds himself on the sidelines.

The skilful winger has struggled to get going since arriving from Roma in 2013, owing to his persistent injuries.

Unsurprisingly, Jose Mourinho has used Lamela sparingly this season. The Argentine forward has seen just 539 minutes of action this season. However, the player is likely to stay at Tottenham Hotspur till the end of the current campaign.

#2 Harry Winks

Harry Winks has played mainly in the Europa League this season..

Harry Winks is another player who has increasingly been sidelined under Jose Mourinho. A key player under former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Winks has struggled for game-time under Mourinho.

That is because the Portuguese manager prefers Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele and Moussa Sissoko in the middle of the park. Giovani Lo Celso, who is injured at the moment, is also above Winks in the Tottenham Hotspur pecking order.

However, with Winks.featuring in three of Tottenham Hotspur's last four Premier League games, the player could still have a future under Jose Mourinho.

#1 Dele Alli

Dele Alli has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho.

When Jose Mourinho took over the reins at Tottenham Hotspur, Dele Alli was n form. He got three assists and four goals in Mourinho's first five games in charge of Spurs.

Just when it looked like Alli would be one of the key players under Mourinho, the player has only managed 472 minutes of action in various competitions this season.

With the arrival of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Jose Mourinho has found the kind of midfielder he was always looking for.

As the Portuguese tactician prefers a double pivot in the middle of the pitch, the out-of-form Delle Alli has his task cut out to return to the Tottenham Hotspur playing-XI.
