Premier League: Antonio Conte on Harry Kane
The Italian said: “Many praise Harry Kane for his ability to go get the ball and play with the team, such as with the equalizer against Denmark. But it’s in the box where he’s clinical and as a coach, I would always keep him in there because he’s devastating.”
Conte was also full of praise in 2017 during his time at Chelsea and labeled him as the best player in the world.
He told reporters: “For me, 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.“
