Jose Mourinho says signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Tottenham “doesn’t make sense” because he has the “best striker in England” in Harry Kane.
Ibrahimovic, who played for Mourinho at Inter Milan and Manchester United, is available after his two-year spell at LA Galaxy ended.
The new Tottenham manager said he has “more than a connection” with the former Sweden forward.
But he said: “Amazing player, amazing guy, but I would say no chance.”
Mourinho, appointed Tottenham manager last Wednesday after the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, added: “We have the best striker in England. It doesn’t make sense to sign him when we have Harry Kane.”
England captain Kane scored last Saturday as Tottenham won 3-2 at West Ham in the Premier League.
He now has 175 goals in 269 games for Spurs, overtaking Martin Chivers to move third on the club’s all-time top scorer list.
