Conte: Kane right to leave Tottenham for Bayern Munich

Former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has a controversial opinion regarding striker Harry Kane.

Conte, who managed Kane to some success at spurs, believes he is a better player than he was at Tottenham.

Kane moved from Spurs to Bayern Munich in the summer, which Conte believes has helped him expand his skillset.

“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 deserves to win trophies and we are talking about one of the best strikers in the world. He is one of the best I've worked with, for sure. He's a good guy and a good person too.

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