The striker limped off in the 1-0 loss to Southampton on New Year’s day with a hamstring injury. The striker has now been advised to undergo a surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left hamstring.

This is expected to keep him out till April, a month longer than initially expected.

The striker has been in fine form for Spurs this season and has scored 17 goals and assisted 2 more in 25 appearances for the North Londoners. (h/t Whoscored)

With Kane ruled out, Spurs face a crisis in the attack with no specialist senior striker available.

Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura will have to fill in against Liverpool, with Mourinho stating it’s too early to rely on the 17-year-old Troy Parrott.

Spurs were expected to have a quiet transfer window but have now been forced to get involved as Mourinho tries to salvage a flagging season.

Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek has agreed to join Tottenham from AC Milan (h/t Sun). The striker is set to sign a three-and-a-half-year deal with the medical scheduled in the next 48 hours. Piatek has spoken of Kane being his role model and the 24-year old now has the chance to emulate his hero.
