Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho believes Dele Alli is their best option as striker.

Alli is expected to continue as a false No9 in Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Norwich City after bagging both assists in Spurs' 3-2 defeat by Wolves.

“Dele, from all the squad, is the one that has more the profile of a No9," Mourinho said. “He is probably the closest one to it. So sometimes it'll be Dele, sometimes Lucas Moura and a bit of Troy Parrott, step-by-step, too.

“Dele's fine. You don't play lively and committed like he did [against Wolves] if you're not in the right frame of mind. Is he the happiest guy in this moment? [No], I'm not either. If you're happy when you don't win matches, there's something wrong with you.

“So he's not jumping with happiness but he's not depressed. And I'm not. He's looking forward, he plays [on Wednesday] again.

“It's the second match of a cycle of four that ends in Leipzig. We're not going to arrive [in Leipzig] as a fresh team but we have to make sure we arrive as a team that goes there to fight for qualification."
