Harry Kane has been struggling to fire goals in for Tottenham so far this season and it was something Antonio Conte was asked about in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

The Spurs striker has scored eight goals so far this season but only netted one in the Premier League, as well as one assist in both the league and Europa Conference League.

Kane is a three-time golden boot winner and the Lilywhites only striker, meaning there is inevitably pressure on the 28-year-old to find the back of the net in games.

Heung-min Son is currently Tottenham’s top goal scorer in the league, already scoring five in the top flight this campaign.

“First of all, I’m sure Harry is happy if we win and he doesn’t score because Tottenham is the first thought for us and Harry,” Conte said ahead of Sunday’s match against Norwich.

“As I said yesterday [Thursday], Harry played a very good game, he was in the situation that we scored and he had a good chance to score.

“Important to have chances to score and we’re improving a lot in this aspect,” the 52-year-old explained.
