"I have to be honest with you, I don't know, I don't know about this situation, I don't know the details, honestly, honestly,"

he said. 

"You know we are talking about an important player for Tottenham, and the desire of everybody into the club is [for Kane] to continue to stay with Tottenham, to sign a new contract. But if you ask me about the details, about information, I cannot answer you."

Conte admitted that he talked to the club about last-minute additions, but he will be happy with whatever happens, insisting:

"I spoke with the club. I spoke with [director of football, Fabio] Paratici, with [chairman] Daniel Levy, I said to them my opinion.

"But as you know very well, the most important thing is for the club to know my opinion. If we do something or not, it's OK."

Richarlison, one of the new singings, got rave reviews for his display from the bench against Forest as he performed great and led Kane to his second goal. Conte praised the player for his contribution.

"I think about Richy, we are really happy,"

he said.

"We are talking about a player who can help us a lot, we are talking about a player who is really good addition, especially up front. In the past at Tottenham [we] didn't have a player of this level behind Harry, behind [Son Heung-min]. Now we have a really good player.

"He is in the best moment of his career, to stay in Tottenham to show his talent, he has a big [talent] for sure. He can help us a lot in this season. And now every time he is playing, also for 20-30-40 minutes, he is playing very well. For sure in the next games you will see him in the starting 11."
