Mourinho promised to turn Kane into a 'movie star of football' in first meeting at Tottenham

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho won Harry Kane over by promising to turn him into a “movie star of football” when he took over the club last year.

The Portuguese, who has coached at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and Manchester United in the past, replaced Mauricio Pochettino in the dugout as Spurs flirted with the relegation zone after a dreadful start to the 2019-20 season.

Recognising that he needed to get the two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner onside as quickly as possible, details of a meeting between the pair in the manager’s office have been shown on Amazon’s ‘All or Nothing’ documentary.
