Tottenham boss Mourinho: We need a target man

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho hopes to add to his squad this month.

Spurs will be without England striker Harry Kane, who is ruled out until April with a hamstring injury that requires surgery.

Mourinho says the club need to sign a replacement this month if the right target becomes available.

"Lots of names are coming and the majority of them are coming by players' entourages, agents, people that want to put players' names in the market," said the 56-year-old.

"Do we need a striker? Yes - if possible, yes. But it has to be a positive situation for us."

Mourinho says Tottenham still have attacking options in the shape of Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela, Giovani lo Celso and Dele Alli.

"Of course they're very good, but we miss that target man," he said.

"We are doing everything possible. It's not easy but we're trying to add players to the squad."
