Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho won over his star player Harry Kane during their first meeting.

Mourinho took over from Mauricio Pochettino midway through last season.

And some felt Pochettino leaving may prompt Kane to ask for a move. But Mourinho convinced him to stick around by promising to help reach his potential.

"I believe that you have a very good relationship with Mauricio, I love that," Mourinho told Kane in a conversation captured by Amazon's documentary on the club's season.

"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. The reality is that my dimension is universal and by being with me I think I can help you to [explode].

Kane then replied: "That's my aim.

"When you're at a club like Tottenham, of course we've done well and personally I've done well. But I want to be Ronaldo and Messi."

Mourinho continued: "It's not enough, yes, yes. What I don't accept, because it is my fucking nature, 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."
