Spurs boss Conte wants star striker Harry Kane to focus on being the number nine for his side

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte wants Harry Kane to be an out-and-out number nine striker and hopes to bring in a new number 10.

The England captain has been the master at both positions for Spurs over the last couple of seasons, scoring goals at his usual rate while also being his side's most creative player when he drops deep.

His passing and vision have been crucial in bringing the best out of Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski as Spurs have barged their way into the top four ahead of this weekend's visit to Aston Villa.
