Chelsea coach Antonio Conte believes Tottenham star Harry Kane is one of the best forwards on the planet and is worth at least £100million in the current transfer market.
While not suggesting he wants to buy Kane for Chelsea, the Italian admits he is a huge admirer of the England international and can fire Spurs to the Premier League title.
Kane has scored a remarkable 94 goals in the last three seasons and Conte believes a host of top clubs would want to buy him, just like Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe is being pursued by the likes of Real Madrid now.
Conte insists he is happy with new club-record £58m buy Alvaro Morata, who joined from Real Madrid last week.

The subject of Kane came up when Conte was asked if he felt Spurs could still compete for the title if they continue to not sign any players this summer.
Conte said: "Tottenham is a really good squad if they are able to keep all the players.
"For me, Kane, now, is one of the best strikers in the world.
"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. If you go to buy Kane now it would be at least £100m.
"At least. For me, if I see this price for a striker I know for sure he’s a big striker."
But Conte has reiterated his stance that Spurs coach Maurico Pochettino is under the least pressure of all the title contenders to succeed.
