Antonio Conte looks to have already found Tottenham Hotspur's perfect understudy to Harry Kane ahead of the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old has been tasked with a heavy workload this season having appeared 45 times for the north Londoners, featuring in all but four games.

And, following a summer with little rest due to England's road to the European championship final, the responsibility seemingly took a toll on Kane in the early stages. He failed to find the net inside his opening six Premier League appearances, though the England captain has rekindled his form in spectacular fashion, directly contributing towards 13 goals in his previous 11 Premier League outings.

Despite being heavily linked with a move away from White Hart Lane this season, Kane is not yet looking beyond the end of this campaign and there are hopes within the club that he will remain a Spurs player ahead of next season, understands. Therefore, Conte will need a summer arrival who can deputise his acclaimed striker in the coming months — and the Italian boss has already been notified who to bring in.
