The English sharpshooter has not won a single piece of silverware in his time in north London, and had left the door open for a move away.

Jose Mourinho says Tottenham need just one more win in the Carabao Cup to satisfy Harry Kane’s hunger for silverware.

Kane, speaking in an Instagram Live chat, refused to rule out an exit from Tottenham last year, saying he wouldn’t stay at the club “for the sake of it” if they aren’t making progress in the right direction.

The future of the England captain has remained a subject of debate ever since. Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City have all been touted as a possible destination for him.

Many have even suggested that the 27-year-old, who has a remarkable tally of 208 goals in 317 appearances in total for Spurs but no trophies to show for it, should end his career-long association with the club in order to go down in history as one of the world’s best strikers.

Amid all the speculations, Mourinho is confident he can deliver the trophies that can convince Kane to stay put at Tottenham.

“To win a trophy, he just needs to win one game. I know that it is a big, difficult game,” Mourinho told reporters, via Evening Standard.

“I know that it is against probably the team that is going to win the Premier League this year, so I think it is a very difficult final that we will have to play.

“But to win a trophy, we just need to win a match. You have to ask Harry, but I think ‘to wait’ is not the right way to describe it. Is to fight for it.

“But it’s something very personal that I think he is the right guy to have a conversation with you about it.”
