Harry Kane has suggested Antonio Conte has added ‘more strings’ to his bow and he believes there is still more room for improvement in his current style of play.
The 28-year-old has hit a strong patch of form for Tottenham in recent games scoring seven goals in as many games to help lift his side back in contention for a Champions League spot.
The England captain netted twice in Spurs’ 5-0 demolition of relegation-threatened Everton Monday night, which closed the gap on fourth-placed Arsenal down to three points.
His double also saw him score his 175th and 176th top-flight goals, which took him above Thierry Henry into sixth on the all-time goalscorers list (Premier League).
Aside from his scoring, Kane once again demonstrated his stunning array of passes when dropping deep, which has created plenty of chances in behind for Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski.
And Kane believes his current level of form is one of the highest in his career, which he attributes to former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Conte.
He also hinted there are aspects to his game he can still work on and that there is ‘more and more to come’ from himself in front of goal.

He said (via Football.London): “I feel like I’m in a great place. I’m 28 now, I feel like physically I’m in a really good place. I feel mentally, my game understanding and my awareness on the pitch is at a really high level from just gaining experience over the years.
“Antonio has definitely given me more strings to my bow. I’m always someone who tries to improve. When I’m 35, 36 I’ll still be trying to improve. That’s just my mindset.
“For sure, I’m in a good place. It’s nice to be scoring goals, winning games, helping the team. Overall, it’s about working hard, keeping my head down.
“There’s always stuff I can improve on, whether it’s finishing, hold up play, passing and that’s what I’ll continue to do, but for sure, I feel like there’s more and more to come and I’m excited for that.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Despite his slow start to the season, Kane has got back to the level we expect, but also he expects from himself. He is so good at goal-scoring of course, but the way he brings his teammates into the game is invaluable and something that Spurs cannot afford to lose.
