‘Kane can score 200 more goals’

-

TOTTENHAM manager Jose Mourinho has backed Harry Kane’s quest for another 200 club goals after seeing him complete his first double century at Newcastle.

The England captain scored twice in Spurs’ 3-1 Premier League win at St James’ Park on Wednesday evening to reach his landmark, and later dedicated the victory to team-mate Serge Aurier following the death of his brother Christophe­r earlier this week.

Kane tweeted: “That win was for you @Serge_aurier. Very proud to reach 200 club goals. On to the next 200,” and swiftly received the approval of his manager.

Mourinho said: “He’s a young guy. Two hundred goals at his age with the remaining years that he has in front of him, it’s very normal that he speaks about, ‘Let’s go for 200 more’.

“He’s a goalscorer, he’s a young guy. He has a lot in front of him, so let’s go for 200 more, I’m with him.”
