LONDON (UK) – Jose Mourinho, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, said the club are fortunate to have striker Harry Kane and that he would not be “so special” at another team.
Kane, who recovered from a hamstring tendon issue during the lockdown, was back to his best form when he netted two quality goals as Spurs trounced Leicester City 3-0 on Sunday.
Kane, 26, had inked a six-year contract extension in 2018. But he had told Sky Sports in March he could leave if they do not go in the right direction.
“I think everyone thinks he’s a fantastic player and Tottenham are so lucky to have him because he’s the player, the person and the Tottenham boy,” Mourinho said.
“All this together makes him really a special player for us that probably would not be so special playing for another team. He’s really special for us, he’s really special for Tottenham.”
Spurs are aiming to earn a place in the Europa League next season after Sunday’s victory.
“We want him to be happy and for him to be happy he wants victories, to score goals, and I’m so happy after an incredibly difficult injury he’s coming in the direction where he’s going to end the season perfect,” Mourinho said.
