Jose Mourinho has ruled out bringing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Tottenham... because he already has Harry Kane at his disposal.
Ibrahimovic left LA Galaxy in mid-November, and the 38-year-old is currently a free agent as he decides on what is likely to be his last move as a professional footballer.
Mourinho and Ibrahimovic have formed a strong player/coach relationship, previously working together at both Inter Milan and Manchester United.
But speaking to the press ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Olympiacos, Mourinho said: "You are right about the connection [between me and Ibrahimovic].
"I would even say it was more than a connection. It is a passion, an understanding. He is an amazing player and an amazing guy. But I would say no chance.
"We have the best striker in England and one of the top two or three strikers in the world. It does not make any sense for a striker of Zlatan’s dimension.
"Obviously, he is in his late 30s but he is still a striker who can play in any club in the world. But it does not make sense to come to a club where we have Harry Kane."
The Portuguese manager's decision to sign Ibrahimovic as a free agent for United in 2016 paid dividends as the Swedish striker silenced his doubters with 28 goals to help lead the Red Devils to Europa League and EFL Cup triumphs.
However, Ibrahimovic suffered a season-ending knee injury in April 2017, and eventually signed for LA Galaxy in March 2018.
