Conte: Kane and I can win trophies together with Tottenham

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he and Harry Kane can stay and win trophies together.

Conte was speaking after Kane hit the winner at Fulham last night.

He said, "Yeah but we are talking about a player that has fantastic ability and skills. For sure, I would like to help him and me also and his team-mates to try to do something important, to win something with Tottenham because he loves Tottenham.

"Tottenham is in his heart and it should be good if together we were able to win something because then it is important to have this record but I think it could be more important if you are good to lift a trophy.

"Yes, I think we have to be dreamers. I spoke to the players and I said today has to be a starting point for us. Many times, many times especially after the defeats, you can learn much more than from a win. After the game against Manchester City and also especially the game against Arsenal, it was important to make good reflection with our players and to understand maybe something we lost.

'We lost something compare to last season. Not offensively because last season we were one of the best and today this season we are third in attack in the league but we lost something defensively. I repeat when I say defensively I want to involve the whole team. For this reason I spoke with the players to find again their resilience, to show again their desire and their will to defend the result.

"Yeah, I have intelligent players, smart players and good men. Today they gave me a good answer but I repeat it has to be a starting point. prepare the match and let's hope it continues that way."
