Tottenham news: Fresh Harry Kane transfer saga as Antonio Conte names new signing role

After arguably the worst result of Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur tenure on Wednesday, the team needs a big response this weekend.

At home to Southampton, Spurs led 2-1 in the final stages only for a couple of quickfire strikes from Saints to turn the game around. An eventual 3-2 loss represented a significant blow to the team's top-four chances.

The tricky games keep coming for Tottenham too, as they welcome an impressive and defensively diligent Wolves outfit to north London on Sunday.

Here are you latest Spurs headlines ahead of that game, including fresh speculation over Harry Kane and Conte's comments on a new signing.

Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly keen to bring Harry Kane to Manchester United in the summer should he take up the job at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are set to appoint a new permanent boss at the end of the season, with Ralf Rangnick in temporary charge at the moment.

Pochettino is the favourite with many to take over and he helped turn Kane into one of the best strikers on the planet when they worked together at Spurs.

The England captain was subject to serious interest from Manchester City in the summer and despite being keen on the move, Tottenham resisted the efforts of the Premier League champions.

Conte has hinted that he may start Rodrigo Bentancur on Sunday against Wolves.

While Spurs caved in late on against Saints, there were a number of impressive touches from the Uruguayan international and fans will be keen to see more of his talents from the off this weekend.

Conte was asked about the ex-Juventus man in his press conference and provided a view on what role Bentancur can thrive in.

"He can play....I think the best position for him is to play [as one of] two midfielders,"
