Harry Kane wants to build a "strong relationship" with new manager Jose Mourinho that will help take Tottenham to the next level. Kane, whose two goals in the 4-2 win over Olympiakos helped book a Champions League knockout place, was a staunch supporter of former boss Mauricio Pochettino, but he knows Mourinho could be the man to help him win silverware with Spurs.
