Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has raved about Harry Kane on Sky Sports.

Conte has said that Kane is a striker with great talent and understands situations well.

The former Chelsea boss has added that the 28-year-old England international striker has shown him already that he is very clever.

Conte and Kane has worked with each other for only a few days.

What Antonio Conte has said

The Tottenham boss told Sky Sports about Kane: “He’s a player with great talent and in these eight days that we’ve worked together I can see that it is enough to tell him only once what it is I want in a moment.

“He understands quickly and he’s shown me that he’s a clever player. He weighs up every situation and knows exactly where the ‘keeper is whenever he’s inside the box – the first post, the second post or whether he can kick it through his legs.”

Encouraging for Tottenham Hotspur

Conte is clearly a fan of Tottenham striker Kane.

Now, of course, in our view, all managers would love to have Kane in their team.

But working with the England international striker even for a few days has shown Conte just what he is capable of.

Kane is not scoring in the Premier League at the moment, but he was in fine form for England during the international break.

The Tottenham star scored a hat-trick against Albania and four goals against San Marino in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Spurs will take on Leeds United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this weekend.

Kane will be keen on taking his international form to club football.
