Manager describes striker as Tottenham’s ‘point of reference’Striker remains stuck on one
Premier League goal this seasonAntonio Conte says he cannot currently imagine selecting a
Tottenham team without Harry Kane and that Spurs do not have the option to rest their misfiring talisman over the
Christmas period.
Kane remains stuck on one Premier League goal for the season after drawing a blank, and missing a clear chance, during Thursday’s 2-0 win over Brentford. There were suggestions that his sharpness is returning, though, and afterwards a satisfied Conte called him Tottenham’s “point of reference”. Should that remain the case in their eight remaining December fixtures he will have played 69 matches for club and country this year, but Conte maintains there is no viable alternative.
