Antonio Conte makes bold claim on Harry Kane after Manchester City rumours last summer

Antonio Conte is delighted with the way Harry Kane has bought into the Italian's project at Tottenham as he says he will be the focal point of any success. The 29-year-old looked set to leave Spurs in the summer after hankering for a move to Manchester City, hinting at his desire during a high-profile interview with Gary Neville and turning up to pre-season training late. And Conte, whose side visit his former club Chelsea in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday, has found a player willing to give it his all.

"First of all, we are talking about a really good person and a really good man," Spurs boss said. "And I think this is the most important thing.   "Because I knew the situation in the summer and, when Harry decided to stay in Tottenham, I found a player totally involved in this project now.   "I am happy to have him in my team because for sure we are talking about the top player, a top striker in the world, and if we want to win or if we want to think to build something to win, Harry must be a point of start.   "This is normal and he knows very well my opinion, but I repeat I'm very happy to work with him and I think that he has enjoyed the time, what we are building with the team and that is all."
