Tottenham news: Mourinho finally edges closer to Kane’s replacement

With their main source of goals out until April, Tottenham have had to act fast…

Jose Mourinho wasn’t greeted with the best of starts to life as Tottenham manager. Harry Kane, the striker he was most looking forward to working with, picked up a lengthy injury which would see him sidelined for the majority of the rest of the season. It’s thought he will make a comeback around April time but he has a history of making speedy comebacks.

Anyway, Tottenham need a plan B because, in terms of scoring goals, the club has been a little dry lately. They managed to see out their recent match against Norwich though and picked up all three points against the Canaries, with Dele Alli and Heung Min-Son on the scoresheet.

According to AS, Tottenham are ever so close to securing a deal with the man they wish to replace Harry Kane in his absence. The Spanish outlet have reported that Willian Jose will travel to London soon ahead of an imminent deal.

Real Sociedad have had a good start to the season and Willian Jose is a fundamental part of this. He has scored eight league goals to help his side up to sixth place in La Liga, which is a good achievement for them.

Jose is a similar striker to Kane in many ways but he would also add a new dynamic to the Spurs side in his absence. While not many can match Kane’s prolific talisman nature, Jose is a joy to watch because he is incredibly skilful with the ball at his feet. You will often see him flicking the ball with an excellent first touch to get his wingers involved in the match. This will undoubtedly benefit the likes of Son and Lucas Moura.

Do you think Willian Jose is the right option for Tottenham?
