Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov says incoming manager Antonio Conte will be good for Harry Kane.

Conte is on the brink of being named new manager at Spurs.

Berbatov told Betfair: "During his time at Inter, Conte made Lukaku a better player. His confidence was down after moving from Manchester United and then at Inter he was reborn and became a goal machine.

"So you can easily say that Conte will be good for Harry Kane.

"Conte has that experience with big players. Sometimes a manager needs a special bond with the special players in the team.

"They need to know how to speak with them and know when to be firm and tell them the truth and how it is.

"There is a small issue with the way Kane is playing, but it also comes down to the whole performance of the team because he depends on those around him. Conte, who has fresh ideas, could be good for Kane."
