Harry Kane believes it would be "fantastic" for Tottenham if Antonio Conte stayed on as head coach amid ongoing speculation about the long-term futures of both men.Kane scored the only goal of the game with a curled strike into the bottom corner just before half-time in Spurs' 1-0 Premier League win at Fulham on Monday evening.It was the England captain’s 266th goal for Tottenham, putting him level with Jimmy Greaves as the north London club’s all-time highest scorer.Conte is out of contract at the end of the season, having signed an 18-month deal in November 2021, and Kane – who himself is in the last 18 months of his deal – says he has enjoyed working with the Italian."I’m not going talk about the manager’s future," Kane said after the victory at Craven Cottage."That’s down to him.
