According to French outlet L’Equipe, via Sport Witness, Tottenham could be prepared to make another move for Lille Director of Football, having previously been linked to the Portuguese earlier this season.
Spurs took assistant manager Joao Sacramento from the French club when they brought Jose Mourinho in, and there has been speculation that his compatriot could also arrive in north London.
Tottenham now have time to prepare for the summer transfer window and after struggling to add the right targets in the previous two windows – such as Paulo Dybala and Krzysztof Piatek – they may want a more experienced individual in charge of transfers.
Daniel Levy is responsible for identifying and trying to sign a lot of players currently, but Campos has a proven track record in that department and fans are obviously encouraged by the club being linked with him again.
After all, he has had many successes in his career. Most recently at Lille he has overseen the development of Nicolas Pepe and Boubakary Soumare – who Spurs have also been linked with.

He also spent a few years at Monaco where he signed the likes of James Rodriguez and current Manchester City players Bernado Silva and Benjamin Mendy. Liverpool’s Fabinho was another he brought in and that shows how good his judge of a player is.
Perhaps best of all, the players above all have one thing in common – they were signed at a young age. That means Spurs could adopt a similar method with Campos in charge, providing Mourinho with players who are able to make an impact as well as earning the club a significant sell-on fee if sold, which would then keep the cycle ongoing.
