Jose Mourinho urges Tottenham Hotspur star to showcase his talent

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has urged Gareth Bale to prove his quality during Harry Kane’s absence from the team.

Kane suffered injuries to both ankles as Spurs lost 3-1 at home to Liverpool on Thursday, opening the door for Bale to secure more game time.

He has started just once for Spurs in the Premier League, but did complete 90 minutes at Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup earlier this week.

“Harry Kane is Harry Kane, you know,” Mourinho said at his press conference for Sunday’s game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
