Tottenham star Harry Kane has heaped praise on former boss Antonio Conte.

Kane only had positive words for Conte and referred to him as a “great man" who helped the club and players.

Conte was unhappy with his team by the end of his reign at the club, which was cut short after a public rant following their 3-3 draw with Southampton on March 18th.

"Obviously I wish Antonio all the best," Kane said after his side beat Brighton on Saturday.

"I had a great relationship with him and it was just unfortunate that for one reason or another it didn't quite work.

"I wish him luck in his next adventure and in the meantime we'll continue to fight with Cristian, Ryan [Mason, acting assistant head coach] and the staff and try and achieve what we set out to.

"I'm not going to get into [what Conte said]. It was an emotional moment after we should have won the game and to concede two goals in the way we did, we were all disappointed.

"He's a great man, his emotions come out at times and that's who he is and he owns that. Us players we talk amongst ourselves [about the need] to keep fighting and keep improving. We know that Southampton game, we know the Everton game last week we need to do better in those moments when we're leading. Overall, all we can do is keep trying to fight and that's what we'll do."
