That’s pretty significant, especially with talk rife that Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain could come calling for Kane at the end of the season.
And whether Mourinho can turn things around remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT pundit and former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara recently defended Mourinho - insisting he wasn’t to blame for their current woes.
“It’s getting embarrassing, isn’t it,” he said after the West Ham defeat. “We should be turning West Ham over!
“I don’t think we’re going to win anything this season, I think we’ll end up trophyless again, I really do.

“I look at the team and the back-four is just an absolute shambles. I don’t know why Jose keeps playing [Davinson] Sanchez and [Eric] Dier because it’s probably one of the worst partnerships in the Premier League!
“[Japhet] Tanganga plays right-back, but he takes him off and puts [Matt] Doherty there, he’s played [Moussa] Sissoko at right-back, [Serge] Aurier, he just doesn’t know the team.
“The only player you’d say deserves to play in that back-four is [Sergio] Reguilon, I really like him, he’s decent.”

“We can sit here and blame the manager for the results and talk about where we should be with a manager like Mourinho, but the players ain’t good enough and he hasn’t been given the money to go and get the players he really needs.
“The whole back-four is not good enough!
“He needs two new centre-backs, proper decent centre-backs you can rely on and build a partnership around, instead of changing it every week because they keep making mistakes.
“So in terms of a crisis, yes there is one, but not with him. I don’t think it’s, ‘let’s get Mourinho out the door’, I don’t think that’s the case yet.”
