Harry Kane reminisced about his time at Tottenham under Jose Mourinho.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has credited Jose Mourinho for creating a lethal partnership that cast him alongside South Korea international Heung Min-Son.

Kane and Son have always had good chemistry, but they reached great heights under Jose. The duo combined for 47 goals, the most in the Premier League's history. 

The England international half of the duo finished the 2020/21 season as top scorer, and his partner, Son, won the Golden Boot the following campaign. 

What Kane said

Speaking to France Football, Kane, who now plies his trade for the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, reminisced about that period in his career and how Mourinho created the perfect system they thrived. 

 "I got on incredibly well with Heung-min Son. I also think he's one of the most underrated players in the top leagues,” Kane told the publication.

“We've always had a very good technical relationship. But it took on another dimension when Jose Mourinho came to Spurs.

"Before the roles were more established, I was No. 9, and Sonny was on the left. We already understood each other very well in the game, but under José, we formed more of an attacking duo and there we created an almost telepathic connection with much more changing roles; one time I was upfront, and another time I was dropping back to set him up."
