England manager Gareth Southgate predicts a 'fresh start' for Tottenham striker Harry Kane... and says new boss Antonio Conte will 'get a reaction very quickly' from his misfiring striker

England manager Gareth Southgate believes Tottenham Hotspur's struggling striker Harry Kane can get back to his goal-scoring best now Antonio Conte is in charge of the Premier League club.

Kane, last season's Golden Boot winner with 23 goals and 14 assists, has scored only once in the league this season as Spurs struggled to attack under Nuno Espirito Santo. Nuno was sacked and replaced by former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Conte.

Southgate said Kane had a 'complicated summer' after his bid to leave the club was denied, but that the England captain now had an opportunity to put that behind him and start afresh under Conte.
