Tottenham fans remember Jose Mourinho's vow to Harry Kane that has come true

Spurs' win over Manchester City on Saturday took them to the top of the Premier League table and produced yet another assist for Harry Kane.

The striker has been in phenomenal form of late, scoring 13 goals and adding 11 assists in his 15 games so far this season.

The England captain has forged a remarkable partnership with Son Heung-min in attack, who scored the opening goal against Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday.

And Spurs fans are recalling one particular moment in the infamous Amazon All or Nothing documentary in which Mourinho spoke with Kane following his arrival in North London.

The manager said he believed he could help Kane 'explode' on a global stage, and that the team itself had the potential to do the same.

"I believe that you have a very good relationship with Mauricio, I love that," Mourinho told Kane. "I always think, good relationship with the previous manager. Why not me?

"I saw you training yesterday and I have no doubts that you are a leader. That is my feeling. The world looks to English football with an incredible respect but they still think that the movie stars of football belong to other places.

"We have to build also your status in that direction. My profile, I am little bit like that as a coach. My dimension is universal and by being with me I think I can help you to… [makes explosion gesture].

"What I don’t accept, because it is my nature, is to be here and win nothing. But I feel that we can because of you.

"You have better players than I had at Manchester United. The club has a lot [of potential] to explode."
