TOTTENHAM fans are worried Jose Mourinho will make Nemanja Matic his first signing in North London.
The new Spurs boss, 56, has already signed the Serbian midfielder twice – while at Chelsea and then Manchester United.
Fans have been joking that Matic will definitely be off to Spurs after Mourinho’s hiring

Reports recently claimed Matic, 31, is pushing for a January transfer as it as after being frozen out under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his youthful revolution.
And now fans can’t stop cracking the same joke that Mourinho will go all-out for a hat-trick of Matic buys in January.
Some fans even suggested Mourinho would go back in for other old favourites like Willian, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini.
But fans on Twitter were quick to cotton on that Matic was the go-to gag for the day.
One wrote: “Perfect chance for United to offload Matic to Spurs for £40million.”
Another said: “I’m pretty sure I ain’t the only one who can’t wait for Nemanja Matic to break the news to the whole world in January that it’s always been a dream for him to play and wear the colours of Spurs.”
A third predicted: “Welcome to Tottenham Nemanja Matic.”
On even predicted the “The Mourinho to do list”, writing: “Sign Zlatan, Willian and Matic, make Eriksen a defensive midfielder and Son Heung-min a world class wing-back.”
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the big news of the day…
