Conte says Kane deserves to win trophies & is a more complete player than before

Antonio Conte has claimed that moving to Bayern Munich has made Harry Kane a better player than he was at Tottenham.

'We're talking about a player who is amazing,' Conte told the Daily Telegraph in an exclusive interview. 'This opportunity to play for Bayern Munich made him better. No doubt about his capacity to score.

'I think he needed to go and to change, to find another club, another mentality, another situation. It was important for him.

'He needed this new experience, another chance. Now he is a more complete player than before.'

While the rest of the Tottenham side appeared to stagnate under Conte, who favoured a more defensive approach, Kane had yet another stunning campaign last term.

The Three Lions talisman netted 30 goals in 38 Premier League outings, as well as
