April 03, (THEWILL) – English forward Harry Kane has credited Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte for helping him win the Premier League Player of the Month title in March.
Spurs won three of their four league games last month, climbing to sixth in the rankings and closing the distance on north London rivals Arsenal to three points thanks to Kane’s four goals and two assists.
After a difficult start to the season, Kane found his form midway through the season and appears to have turned a corner in 2022. He has now praised Conte for the influence he has had on his ever-evolving style of play since his arrival in November.
“I feel really sharp and fit, and obviously, have been scoring and getting some assists as well,” Kane said to the Premier League’s website.
“Hopefully I can continue that from now until the end of the season.
“Antonio’s come in and obviously changed the way he wanted to work, and tactically changed from other managers I’ve worked under, so I feel like I’ve been learning since he’s arrived.
“And I think you can see, not just in me but the team as well, trying to understand the way he wants to work, the way he wants to play.
“It’s definitely improved me as a player. I can’t speak highly enough of him.”
Tottenham can draw level on points with Arsenal if they beat Newcastle at home on Sunday, and a win of two goals or more would see them leapfrog the Gunners until at least Monday night’s game against Crystal Palace.
