Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is not concerned with the north London power battle with Arsenal and is only looking up in the table.

Spurs head to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday seven points ahead of their rivals and a win would go a long way to ensuring they finish above them in the league for a fifth successive year.

Mourinho is focused only on ensuring his side remain in the battle for the top four and not where the Gunners are in the table.

“I look up, I don’t look down,” he said. “If Arsenal was seven points ahead of us, I would look to them.

Kane’s game has evolved in recent years as he drops deep, playing both a Number 9 and Number 10 role.

Aged 28, Kane is in his peak years but Mourinho says he has the potential for longevity.

Asked whether he could play for another 10 years, Mourinho said: “You have to ask him. It depends on what he wants to do and I think it’s too early for him to think about that, he just enjoys his football.

“But when a striker is the kind of goalscorer who can only play in that position, it’s more difficult because when they lose that intensity of the younger people then they have nothing.

“But the kind of players [like Harry], I think they get better with time, with experience, with understanding of the game. At this moment you see Harry and [Karim] Benzema, who’s already 33 now, this kind of striker. They’re very intelligent so they can drop back and assist, transform their game.

“Later in their career, instead of being the No.9 target, they become a nine-and-a-half, between a nine and a 10. And they can play football until they want. But 28 is too early to think about that.”
