Jose Mourinho has appointed five new scouts at Roma from across Europe - including Leicester City's chief talent-spotter Jose Fontes, according to reports.

The iconic Portuguese manager was named as Roma's new coach at the beginning of May and touched down in the Italian capital last week when his Giallorossi contract began on July 1.

Among the new names in his backroom staff are Portuguese scout Fontes, who helped bring Harry Maguire, Caglar Soyuncu and Youri Tielemans to the King Power Stadium.
