Antonio Conte: 'I would buy Harry Kane'

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte calls Harry Kane "one of the best strikers in the world", and reveals that he would jump at the chance to sign the Tottenham Hotspur forward.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has branded Harry Kane "one of the best strikers in the world", and revealed that he would jump at the chance to sign the Tottenham Hotspur forward in the future.

The Blues broke their transfer record to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid this summer after missing out to Manchester United for former centre-forward Romelu Lukaku.

Conte, however, has claimed that he would have signed Kane if Spurs were prepared to sell their prized asset in this summer's transfer window.

"For me, Kane, now, is one of the best strikers in the world. If I had to buy one striker I would go to Kane," Conte told reporters. "He is a complete striker. He is strong physically with the ball, without the ball, he fights and he's strong in the air and acrobatic on the right and the left.

"He's a complete player. If you go to buy Kane now, it would be at least £100m. At least. For me, if I see this price for a striker I know for sure he's a big striker."

Kane netted 35 times in 38 appearances in all competitions for Spurs last season, while the England international has 99 goals in just 165 first-team matches for his London club.
