Things have changed a lot at North London since Antonio Conte was appointed Tottenham Hotspur manager in early November. 

Antonio Conte is undefeated in his first six league games as Spurs manager. In those fixtures, he has led the team to four wins and two draws along with 12 goals scored and just 3 goals conceded.

The Italian has managed to shift the momentum inside the training ground, especially when it comes to the buzz surrounding the England captain Harry Kane.

The striker, who asked to leave the Club during the summer, seems more committed to Tottenham than ever, and there is a realistic chance the squad starts winning trophies again this season. 

Boxing Day

Following his great performance against Crystal Palace, Harry Kane is now officially the highest goalscorer (9) in Premier League history on Boxing Day along with Robbie Fowler. 

The 28 year-old has scored in all six of his Boxing Day Premier League appearances. 

Form

Although he's only scored three league goals, the striker has managed to record a total of 10 goals across all competitions for Spurs this season.

He's also recorded eight goals and one assist with the England National Team since August. 

Football Insider Fabrizio Romano revealed that the relationship between Kane and Conte is ‘more than good’. When he joined Spurs, Conte immediately told Kane that he was the centre of his project.

Spurs have now moved to fifth place in the league table with three games in hand. They will also face last year's European Champions Chelsea FC in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup. 

The last time Tottenham Hotspur won a major trophy was the 2008 Carling Cup Final against the Blues under Juan Ramos.
