Kane is the only recognised centre-forward in Spurs' first-team squad.

Mourinho is confident the club will secure a natural back-up striker to Kane before deadline day.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is convinced the north London club will sign a new striker before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The Spurs boss is 'optimistic' a new frontman will come through the doors at Tottenham to help Harry Kane in their attack.

The Lilywhites have been linked with several players in Europe including the likes of Bournemouth's Josh King, Napoli's Arkadiusz Milik, and Torino's Andrea Belotti.

The Portuguese said as Sky Sports reported: "I am optimistic, but more than that the feeling that I like is that we are trying everything to do it. You succeed or you don't succeed. It's like a football match: you win or you don't win but you give everything and try everything. The transfer market is the same.

"I like the feeling that my club is trying to do everything for us and for the team, that's the most important thing for me. If we succeed then great - I believe so - but if we don't then that's football."
