Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte has said Harry Kane’s attitude is “not normal”.
Conte was speaking after Kane grabbed his 20th assist in his 64 Premier League appearances during a 5-1 win over Newcastle on Sunday.
“[Kane’s] performance was amazing. I said to him at the end of the game that it was a shame he did not score. To have this type of player in your team makes you strong. It is important for his team-mates to know Kane is in our team. We know he can score and create.
“First of all, I like the person. We are talking about a talented player. Many times players with great talent do not want to work hard. Not that they want to work less but sometimes they can be lazy. He was an example from the first day I arrived here. You may think this is normal but it is not normal. It is a big example to his team-mates and you see his desire to be competitive,” Conte said.
Speaking to BBC, Conte added:
“He has to continue this way. We’re talking about a world-class striker. He’s enjoying playing in this way.”
