Antonio Conte is a big fan of Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

The Italian is in advanced talks with Tottenham about becoming their new manager, following his recent exit from Inter Milan.

It will be the second time Conte has managed in England, having won the Premier League title and FA Cup with Chelsea between 2016 and 2018.

The 51-year-old did not always speak kindly about Spurs when he was in charge of their local rivals, but he certainly didn't feel the same way about Kane.

Asked about Kane, Conte said, via the Evening Standard: "Tottenham is a really good squad if they are able to keep all the players.

"For me, [Harry] Kane, now, is one of the best strikers in the world. 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."
