"I’m hearing": Sky Sports man drops behind-scenes Spurs update, Conte will be buzzing - opinion

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane loves his new manager Antonio Conte after a promising behind the scenes update emerged this week…

The England international came close to leaving his boyhood club last summer, being involved in an intense and controversial transfer saga with Manchester City, who were keen to sign him on top of their £100m man Jack Grealish.

A move failed to materialise and Kane started the season in dire form, failing to find the net in the Premier League until his seventh appearance, whilst he scored just once in 13 outings, via Transfermarkt.

Now under the Italian, he’s bagged six goals across ten games, including a last-gasp winner at the Etihad Stadium, leading to murmurs of a new contract in the pipeline.

And according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, the 28-year-old is very happy at Spurs again and loves working under the one-time Premier League and FA Cup winner.

“Everything I’m hearing about Kane at the moment is that he’s really happy and he loves playing under Conte, so long may that continue,” he told GIVEMESPORT this week.

Indeed, Kane has looked a different animal on the pitch since the north Londoners replaced Nuno Santo with Conte and that’s hardly much of a surprise given the negative brand of football on offer under the Portuguese.

And the fact that the 52-year-old is a born winner who is hungry for success – just like Kane, who wants to add silverware to his glowing goalscoring record at the club he’s risen through the ranks at.

Ten of Kane’s 17 goals across all competitions this season have come since Conte was appointed in mid-November.

His £200k-per-week contract expires in the summer of 2024, meaning chairman Daniel Levy probably has only one or two chances left to cash in
