Conte Satisfied With Kane Performances Despite Lean Goal Run
Tottenham Hotspurs manager Antonio Conte maintains he is satisfied with Harry Kane’s performances despite the striker’s barren spell in front of goal.
Kane is yet to find the back of the net in Conte’s three Premier League games in charge of Spurs, including Thursday’s 2-0 victory over Brentford.
The 28-year-old, who won the golden boot with 23 goals last season, has only scored once in 12 top flight outings this term.
Conte addressed Kane’s form ahead of Sunday’s home game against Norwich City and the former Chelsea manager was not perturbed by his lean spell.
"First of all, I'm sure Harry is happy if we win and he doesn't score," Conte said of Kane, who has scored five goals in three top-flight matches against the Canaries.
"Tottenham is the first thought for us and Harry. As I said yesterday, Harry played a very good game, he was in the situation that we scored and he had a good chance to score.
"It is important to have chances to score and we're improving a lot in this aspect. I'm sure Harry is going to score many goals.
"I'm sure he’s going to have a good performance in the same way he had against Brentford against every team we play.
"I'm very pleased with the way that he's playing. I know the striker wants to score but we want to give him many chances to score. I think we're on the right path to do this type of situation."
