JOSE MOURINHO could reportedly convince Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld to sign new Spurs contracts.
The Mirror claims Daniel Levy is desperate for the trio to remain in North London as they approach the final six months of their respective deals.

He believes he will need to spend over £100million to replace all three next summer.
But the arrival of Mourinho could persuade the stars to commit to new contracts.
It is claimed Eriksen, Vertonghen and Alderweireld are excited by Mourinho’s appointment.
And they are remaining open-minded over their future at Tottenham, despite being able to talk to foreign clubs from January.
The Special One arrived at the capital club yesterday, less than 24 hours after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked following five-and-a-half years at the helm.
Mourinho apparently believes he can get Eriksen, Vertonghen and Alderweireld back to their best.
And all three could start when Spurs visit West Ham in Saturday’s early kick-off.
However, with Spurs languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table, Mourinho could yet make a couple of signings in the upcoming winter transfer window.
One player said to be at the top of his shopping list is Portuguese ace Bruno Fernandes.
The midfielder scored an incredible 31 goals for Sporting Lisbon last season.
And it’s reckoned Mourinho is extremely interested in bringing Fernandes to Hotspur Way.
