The deadly pair of Spurs are one of the stories of the season so far and their Premier League goal tally has reached 29th on the list, the second largest in the history of top flight.

The pair have been a key element for Tottenham for several years since the popular former manager Pochettino Ken brought them together in the first team from the academy and signed them in 2015.

The current boss is sure to ask the Argentine about his well-known pair.

‘I don’t want all the credit because they played together under Mauricio’s time. They’ve played together for a long time, probably differently, ’Mourinho said.

The Portuguese also credited their predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino, for developing the pair.

‘Perhaps now Harry is not always nine, he has now reached an area that allows his son to achieve goals in various fields.’

Pochettino was Tottenham’s director between 2015 and 2019, guiding the top-three to three of the four seasons and helping them reach the Champions League final in 2019.
