Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that his dream striker signing would be Tottenham's Harry Kane.
Conte has just spent £58m on Alvaro Morata but has admitted that few strikers in the world are as good as 23-year-old Kane.
The England international has won the Premier League’s Golden Boot for the past two seasons, and has scored more league goals since February 2016 than Morata has in his entire professional career.
“For me, Kane, now, is one of the best strikers in the world," Conte admitted.
“If I had to buy one striker I would go to Kane. 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. He's one of the top strikers in the world.”
But Conte is well aware that the prospect of Chelsea ever signing Kane is close to zero, adding that he expects the striker to be worth “at least” £100m.
“If you go to buy Kane now it would be at least £100m,” he added.
“At least. For me, if I see this price for a striker I know for sure he's a big striker.”
