Conte makes Kane admission

 

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed that Harry Kane would be his dream striker signing. 

 

The Blues recently spent big to sign Alvaro Morata and have been linked with big money moves to bring in Alex Sandro and Virgil van Dijk to improve the defence. 

 

Conte was not suggesting Chelsea would launch a bid to sign the 23-year-old, who scored more goals (29) than any other Premier League player last season, but rather speaking of his admiration for Kane. 

 

"For me, Kane, now, is one of the best strikers in the world,” Conte is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. 

 

"If I had to buy one striker I would go to Kane. He is a complete striker. He is strong physically, with the ball, without the ball, he fights and he's strong in the air and acrobatic on the right and the left. 

 

"He's a complete player. He's one of the top strikers in the world. If you go to buy Kane now it would be at least £100m. 

 

"At least. For me, if I see this price for a striker I know for sure he's a big striker."

Tottenham have made steady progress under head coach Mauricio Pochettino and were Chelsea’s closely contenders for the Premier League title last season. 

 

And when quizzed on Spurs’ title ambitions ahead of the coming campaign, Conte responded: "Tottenham is a really good squad if they are able to keep all the players.”
