Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told The Guardian that he cannot afford to drop Harry Kane.
Conte has said that Kane is going to start matches regularly for Tottenham now.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss has said that he will look to find a solution of playing without the England international striker.
Antonio Conte on Harry Kane
Cone told The Guardian about Kane: “If I answer in an honest way, to start a game without Harry now is a bit difficult for me. We are talking about an important player for us.
“I hope to improve the situation, to improve the confidence of all the players and to see that maybe without Harry we can cover the situation – not in the same way, but in a way that can be good to get three points. Now in this moment, honestly, I don’t see this team starting without Harry.”
Start scoring goals again
Kane is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and is arguably the best and important player at Tottenham.
After all, the 28-year-old is the only recognised senior striker on the books Spurs at the moment.
Yes, the England international is not having a great season, but we know what he is capable of.
In our opinion, once Kane scores two or three goals in the Premier League, then the floodgates with open.
Conte’s comments about relying on Kane also shows that Tottenham need to invest in a new striker.
In the January transfer window.
Antonio Conte on Hugo Lloris
Meanwhile, Conte has given his take on Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
Conte told Football.London when asked about Lloris’s future: “Yeah but I’ve just arrived. Only one month. In this moment, for sure, we have many situations to solve.
“Hugo is the captain of this team, captain of France, we’re talking about a top goalkeeper. He’s very focused now and he knows very well that now we’re trying to do our best.
“Me as a coach, Hugo as a goalkeeper and every player has to perform at high level, but for sure we’ll have time to speak about him and I consider him an important player for Tottenham, for his experience.
“He’s a good goalkeeper first of all and many years at this club he has showed always great commitment for this club.”
