Tottenham boss Antonio Conte believes a top four finish will convince Harry Kane to stay.

There will be no shortage of clubs ready to swoop but Conte hinted that another crack at the Champions League might persuade Kane to stay. Spurs kick off at bottom club Southampton today in fourth four points ahead of Newcastle, who have a game in hand.

'To finish in the top four could be very important for everybody, first of all for the club and for the players, the manager and the fans," Conte said.

"For sure if you finish in the top four many, many situations are more simple because you know that we are going to play Champions League. The best players and the best clubs want to play in these competitions.

"We have this idea but other clubs have the same idea. We will see what happens."
