# Tottenham Hotspur: Jose Mourinho reportedly interested in Ciro Immobile

**According to a recent report, Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is plotting a summer move for Ciro Immobile should Harry Kane leave Spurs.**

The report by Spanish outlet [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/inmobile-entra-planes-mourinho-lazio-tottenham-kane-bale-20210228.html) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/mourinho-sets-eyes-replacement-tottenham-star-doesnt-want-stay-take-look/)) claims that the current relationship between Mourinho and Kane is ‘not very good’, with the England captain being linked with a summer move to Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain.

Should Kane depart north London this summer, it is reported that Mourinho could look to Serie A in order to replace the 27-year-old in the shape of Lazio centre-forward Ciro Immobile, who has [14 league goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/70141/History/Ciro-Immobile) to his name so far this season.

[Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/inmobile-entra-planes-mourinho-lazio-tottenham-kane-bale-20210228.html) claimed that the [£40.5m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ciro-immobile/marktwertverlauf/spieler/105521) 31-year-old is one of the most ‘underrated footballers on the market’, as well as being ‘very much to Mou’s taste’ – before stating that the signing of the [£79k per week](https://salarysport.com/football/serie-a/lazio/) striker would ‘not be a problem’ for Spurs following the injection of cash from Kane’s potential sale.

### Transfer Tavern Take

Recent reports in England have directly contradicted Fichajes’ claim that Kane could be leaving Spurs this summer, with [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/02/26/harry-kane-poised-stay-spurs-another-year-covid-crisis-squeezes/) stating that the [£108m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/marktwertverlauf/spieler/132098) man looks set to say in London for ‘at least another year’ – if true, this would immediately render the club’s links with a move for Immobile redundant.

However, in the theoretical event that Kane does leave Tottenham this summer, then it would be difficult to argue that the 31-year-old Immobile would be a bad fit for Mourinho’s side, with his [proficiency in goalscoring](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/70141/History/Ciro-Immobile) in both European and domestic competitions over recent seasons speaking for itself.
