Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch has told Harry Kane he does not need to leave to win trophies now Jose Mourinho is at the club.

Mourinho, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs 10 days ago, wants to turn Kane into a winner, while the England captain has never hid his desire to win trophies.

It was looking increasingly likely he would have to move away from his boyhood club to do that as Tottenham suffered a hangover from their Champions League final loss last season.

Speculation was rife that the 26-year-old would move on in the summer, but the arrival of Mourinho changes things.

Crouch, who began his career at Tottenham and then represented them between 2009 and 2011, is in the first few months of his retirement.

The 38-year-old has moved into punditry and will be part of Amazon Prime Video’s coverage of the Premier League this month.

The streaming service will show all of the forthcoming midweek matches – including Mourinho’s return to Manchester United and the Merseyside derby – along with a Boxing Day marathon.

Crouch could not hide his disappointment at the fact he is no longer playing, but thinks this is the next best thing.

“It’s exciting to be part of Amazon,” he said. “When I stepped out of the game I wanted to stay in football, it is great to be around the live games, the buzz of being at the games.

“Talking about football is not playing, but it is something I am enjoying.”
