'Kane is fundamental for us' - Mourinho not planning to rest Tottenham striker over Christmas period

Jose Mourinho has dismissed the notion of granting Harry Kane a rest during the festive period, as Tottenham look to close the gap on their top-four rivals.

Kane has hit nine goals in 15 Premier League outings at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, which means he is now just eight short of the final tally he amassed last term.

He has continued to deliver in front of goal despite the fact that Spurs have endured a turbulent last few months on and off the pitch, with Mauricio Pochettino relieved of his managerial duties on November 21 after overseeing a dismal run of results.
