Tottenham boss Conte praised for Kane positional adjustment

Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch believes Antonio Conte has Harry Kane returning to his best form thanks to a positional adjustment.

Kane produced another goalscoring display against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

He swept in Lucas Moura's squared pass to open the scoring against Palace, setting Conte's men on their way to a comfortable win.

Crouch believes that move from Conte has helped to get the best out of Kane and the rest of the Spurs team.

“It's definitely been better since Conte's been in and I just want to highlight Harry Kane playing higher," he told BT Sport.

“I think it helps, as good as he is dropping deep, I think if you play Harry Kane high you give Ndombele the chance to play from deep.

“He can pick his pass look to feed Kane which is where you want him. What you want is Harry Kane in the box, being an attacking threat."
