Antonio Conte has revealed Harry Kane as his dream striker target for Chelsea after admitting he failed in a bid to sign Kyle Walker.

Conte has named Kane as the forward he would most want to sign for the Premier League champions, claiming the Tottenham Hotspur star would be worth “at least £100million” in today’s inflated transfer market.

Chelsea are not pursuing any additional strikers this summer at this stage of the window, after the club record £58million arrival of Alvaro Morata, and the club has no plans to launch an ambitious move for Kane.

The England international has been the Golden Boot winner for the last two seasons, helping Mauricio Pochettino’s team finish third and second respectively, and Conte has identified Spurs as genuine rivals to Chelsea’s title defence in the forthcoming campaign.

Conte’s comments in Singapore, during the club’s pre-season tour of Asia, come less than 24 hours after Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho also tipped Spurs as possible title winners.
