Kevin Philipps names Premier League as a "perfect" replacement for Harry Kane if he leaves
Kevin Phillips believes, Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is a perfect replacement for Harry Kane if he leaves the club.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider correspondent Dylan Childs, Philips claimed that the 28-year-old would fit in well with the current group in north London and would match the profile of forwarding wanted by Jose Mourinho.
Speculations surrounded Kane when the England international admitted he would only remain at Spurs if the club were seen to be making progress.
When asked by Football Insider if Jimenez could be the man to succeed Kane at Spurs, Phillips said: “If Kane was to leave I think Jimenez has already shown what he is capable of. He would be the perfect fit for the players that Tottenham have got. The players that would be in and around him are pretty similar to Wolves.
“Would he be as good as Kane? Probably not but he would not be far away. He has shown this season he has got a bit of everything.
“It would take a hell of a bid but the money would be there if Kane was sold. I think it would be an ideal fit. Jimenez has shown he can take the knocks and the bumps and dish it out as well. He suits Mourinho as well – can hold the ball up.”
