Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says Harry Kane will continue to improve.

Kane is in wonderful form with seven goals in eight Tottenham games since 10 days out with minor ankles injuries.

He is 27 years old but Mourinho expects him to adapt his craft in a similar way to Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and keep scoring goals into his 30s.

"When a striker is the kind of goalscorer who can only play in that position, it's more difficult," said the Spurs boss. "Because when they lose that intensity of the younger people, then they have nothing.

"But these kind of players, I think they get better with time, with experience, with understanding of the game.

"At this moment you see Harry and Benzema - who is already 33 now - this kind of striker, they're very intelligent so they can drop back and assist, transform their game.

"Later in their career, instead of being the number nine target, they become a nine-and-a-half, between a nine and a ten, and they can play football until they want.

"It depends what he wants to do and I think it's too early for him to think about that, he just enjoys his football."
