Tottenham boss Conte wants Kane to stay and work with him

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he wants Harry Kane to stay and work with him.

The Italian hopes the work he does between now and the end of the season, as well as his history of winning, will be enough to prove to Kane that he can achieve everything he wants without moving.

"Harry is a player with great ambition and it must be this way because we are talking about a world-class striker," said Conte. "Records are important but, at the same time, it's also important to lift trophies. Only when you win and lift trophies can you go into the story of the club.

"There is only one way to convince this sort of player. It is to work, to convince them of your football knowledge and to improve them. Only this way do you have the respect of players.

"We are trying to start to build something important together. It won't be easy but I think Harry, like the other players, understood the situation.

"We have to train for three or four months to try to improve and build something important.

"But I understand then that every player has to make the best decision at the end of the season."
