There are suggestions the team are overly-reliant on the Kane-Son duo

Tottenham Hotspur do not need another striker in the transfer window, Jose Mourinho said Friday after reports that the club were interested in signing Southampton's Danny Ings.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have scored 24 of Spurs' 33 Premier League goals between them this season, each bagging 12, leading to suggestions the team are overly-reliant on the duo.

Mourinho told reporters this Friday ahead of his side's FA Cup fourth round tie at Wycombe Wanderers Monday.

Brazilian Vinicius is on loan but has hardly been used in the Premier League, though he did get a hat-trick in Tottenham's 5-0 win at minor league Marine in the FA Cup third round.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford said his former manager Jose Mourinho had helped him become more "savvy" in the box to win penalties.

He is likely to get another chance Monday with Mourinho saying he will make changes for the trip to Wycombe, with one eye on next Thursday's Premier League clash with Liverpool.

Mourinho said he will take a full squad, however.

Spurs are still without the injured Giovani lo Celso for the trip to the Championship (second-tier) strugglers while Dele Alli, Matt Doherty and Serge Aurier all have minor problems.
