Report: Mourinho has chosen Brazilian striker to replace Kane, he'll be in London within 24 hrs - originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to AS, Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has chosen Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose as the man to replace the injured Harry Kane, and he is set to travel to London to seal a move.
The Spanish outlet claims the Brazilian will travel to London on Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning, and that everything is in place for him to sign with Spurs.
Kane is out till April, and Mourinho knows he has to land another quality finisher to boost his side’s chances of finishing in the top-four.
The 28-year-old has a £60 million release clause, but Tottenham won’t be paying it if both parties agree to a deal.
Willian Jose currently has eight goals in 21 games for the La Liga outfit this term, and has scored 52 goals in 121 games for them since arriving in the summer of 2016.
The Brazilian moved to Europe from Santos in 2013, linking up with Real Madrid B.
He made just one appearance for the Madrid senior team before joining Zaragoza and then Las Palmas, scoring 20 goals in 72 appearances for both teams.
At 6ft 2in, Willian Jose could be the perfect target man for Mourinho’s Spurs, and his brilliant hold-up play and strength should see him excel in the Premier League.
