Antonio Conte says one Spurs player is among the best he's ever trained

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has deemed Harry Kane “one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to train”.

The Spurs striker is arguably one of the best strikers in world football, his record speaking for itself.

In 356 competitive appearances for Tottenham, Kane has bagged an incredible 229 goals and 51 assists.

Kane also captains the England national team and has 48 goals from 67 appearances.

He has won four Golden Boot awards – the 2018 World Cup accolade, plus three in the Premier League.

Admittedly, the 28-year-old has struggled this season.

Kane has eight goals from 20 matches, but just one in the Premier League.

Despite his poor form, Conte is delighted with how Kane has been doing in training.

He doesn’t doubt the Spurs talisman’s quality one bit.

“Harry is a world-class striker,” Conte told Sky Sports ahead of the Liverpool clash.

“Every day that I train him I understand very well that he’s a world-class striker.

“He’s one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to train. He’s amazing. I like to have him in my team.

“For sure Jurgen [Klopp] likes to have Mo Salah. But I like to have Harry in my team.

“He’s an important player for us and my expectation was very high and to play an important game against Liverpool.”

Conte has worked with some of the best players in world football.

In terms of strikers, the Italian has coached the likes of Carlos Tevez, Diego Costa and Romelu Lukaku in the past.

Conte knows what he’s talking about, and hopefully he’ll soon get Kane firing on all cylinders.
