Jose Mourinho was spotted in the crowd at Lille’s 5-0 rout of Nimes yesterday and as per FCInterNews.it, he was there to watch Nicolas Pepe.

Mourinho is understood to be a huge fan of the Ivorian winger despite the fact he is still seeking employment having been sacked by Manchester United at the end of last year.

His attendance at the match would certainly suggest that Mourinho is hopeful of signing the 23-year-old at the next club he goes to.

Pepe has been strongly linked with a switch to Inter this Summer whilst Mourinho’s name has also been mentioned in reports as a potential successor to Luciano Spalletti at Inter.
