Jose Mourinho says Tottenham are "working very hard" to sign a striker.

Harry Kane is the only recognised striker in Spurs' first-team squad this season, with Heung-Min Son often deputising for the England captain when he is out injured.

But the Spurs head coach, who says he "needs a striker", is confident the club will meet his demands in the transfer window.

"I want a striker," said Mourinho at a news conference ahead of Spurs' Premier League opener against Everton on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

"But I want to make it very clear that the club - if you want to call it the club or the structure above me - knows I need a striker and they also want a striker.

"I believe we will get a striker, I honestly believe so.

"The team needs it for the balance of the squad. In this moment the squad is getting very balance and we have different options for different positions.

"Especially after the gift that we had from UEFA and EFL that gives me after 20 years of football a unique experience of playing Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday for two consecutive weeks.

"We realise now more than ever that we need that [balance].

"The other day Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool is not a club of oligarchs or belonging to countries. We are the same so we are not the kind of club that can go to the market and spend a fortune on players.

"But we are all working very hard to give us some good balance to the squad and that would be to get one more striker to the team.

"We are all working to find a solution that makes us all happy."
