Mido: Conte gambling with Tottenham mess; Kane still loves the club

Former Tottenham striker Mido has questioned their move for Antonio Conte.

Mido is surprised Conte has agreed to move to Spurs.

He said: "I'm surprised he [Antonio Conte] will sign for only 18 months. I think he needs much more time to transform Tottenham.

"18 months is not enough for a coach to change things around.

"We all know it's been a mess. We cannot hide. It's obvious to everyone that it's been a mess at Tottenham.

"Let's hope Daniel Levy and the board will be patient with him [Conte].

"Conte knows that without money he cannot do anything. He needs good defenders."

Mido also spoke of Harry Kane's struggles.

He stated: "I think [Harry] Kane loves Tottenham. The reason he wanted to leave in the first place, is that he could see that everyone else could see the club was in a mess.

"Now, if he sees the club getting in the right direction under a big manager – I think he will stay. I don't think it will be a big issue for Conte to convince Kane to stay.

"Once Kane sees things in the right direction, he will be the first one who wants to stay."
