Jose Mourinho says Tottenham are "so lucky" to have Harry Kane after the striker's two goals beat Leicester City on Sunday.
Kane's future under Mourinho has been called into question by some after seemingly struggling to replicate his goalscoring prowess in recent weeks.
However, an all-round man-of-the-match display saw Kane at the thick of the action as Spurs thumped Leicester in the team's most convincing under Mourinho to date.
"Everyone thinks he's a fantastic player and Tottenham is so lucky to have him because he's the player, the person and the Tottenham boy," Mourinho told reporters.
"All this together makes him really a special player for us that probably wouldn't be so special playing for another team. He's really special for us, he's really special for Tottenham.
"We want him to be happy and for him to be happy he wants victories, score goals, and I'm so happy after an incredibly difficult injury he's coming in the direction where he's going to end the season perfect. Hopefully the beginning of next season he will be even better."
Kane set up Son for the opening goal, which eventually went down as an own goal, before scoring the second and third. Son could have had another after a remarkable midfield- and defence-splitting pass from Kane, only to slip at the last moment.
Kane has been working privately at home since coming back from another long-term injury, which Mourinho elaborated on after Sunday's win.
He added: "He's doing incredible effort since day one, since injury day. Even without the sad situation of coronavirus he was preparing himself to be back as soon as possible to play the last four, five, six matches of the season. He was doing an incredible effort, working so much for that.
"Then the lockdown was hard because with so many rules in relation to visits, in relation to medical departments, the training ground closed, the medical people forbidden to have direct contact with players was really a period that I think break a little bit his evolution.
"When training ground opened I think everything changed for him. Incredible work in the club, always do some work privately at home. He's a guy that lives for family, for football and for a little bit of goals. Amazing professional."
