West Ham United manager David Moyes has praised Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte in The Times for the way he uses striker Harry Kane.
Moyes made the comments about Conte and Kane while analysing how England head coach Gareth Southgate should use the Tottenham striker at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
Kane will lead the line for the Three Lions in Qatar.
England are aiming to win the World Cup.

Moyes said: “The key is using Kane in the very best way and maybe Gareth will be looking at what Antonio Conte does at Spurs.
“Conte uses Kane brilliantly. He doesn’t ask him to press too intensely and use up too much energy and he understands how exceptional Kane is at linking up play, so when Spurs win the ball back he always has people running beyond him.
“Of course if a team are happy to build up without Kane he’s also brilliant at getting on to things in the box, whether it’s headers from crosses, back-post finishes, you name it. He’s a remarkable weapon for Gareth to have at his disposal.”
Key player for club and country
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane will be key to England’s chances of winning the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
Kane is arguably the best and most important player at Spurs, and he is also the best and most important player for England.
The striker will need to score goals and lead by example in Qatar if the Three Lions are to be successful.
Kane is in good form heading into the World Cup.
The 29-year-old has scored 12 goals and given one assist in 15 Premier League matches and has scored one goal and given two assists in six UEFA Champions League games for Spurs so far this season.
