Fabrizio Romano has relayed a huge update concerning the future of both Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward Harry Kane and Spurs manager Antonio Conte.
What's the word?
In a recent post on Twitter, the Italian journalist and transfer insider relayed recent comments made by the 28-year-old regarding his future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in which the England captain also went on to suggest that - despite recent reports linking the Italian with a move away from north London this summer - the 52-year-old could also remain at Spurs next season - saying he was looking forward to 2022/23.

In his tweet, Romano said: "Harry Kane tells Standard Sport: 'I'm a big fan of Conte, it'd be great if he stays. We really enjoy working with him. We look forward to the next season with a great manager. But it's Conte's decision - and I'm sure he will talk to the club and decide on his future'."
Supporters will be buzzing
Considering just how important both Kane and Conte are to Tottenham, the former's suggestion that both he and the 52-year-old could remain at the club next season is sure to have left the Spurs faithful buzzing.
Despite the centre-forward getting off to an uncharacteristically slow start to the season - scoring just one goal and registering one assist over his first ten Premier League fixtures in 2021/22 - ever since Conte's appointment in the Tottenham dugout back in November, the 28-year-old has burst into life.
Indeed, over his 27 appearances under the management of the Italian, the £90m-rated forward has scored 15 goals and registered seven assists, with these returns seeing the £200k-per-week hitman average a quite incredible SofaScore match rating of 7.34 - not only ranking him as Spurs' second-best performer in the league but also as the joint eighth-best player in the division as a whole.
However, it is not only Kane who the former Inter Milan boss has had a positive impact on, as Tottenham's general level of performance has also drastically increased since the time of the Italian's arrival at the club - with Spurs climbing from ninth to fourth in the league standings under the 52-year-old, picking up a very impressive 53 points over his 27 league games in charge.
As such, should both men remain in north London heading into 2022/23, the future would appear to be extremely bright for Spurs - something that is undoubtedly fantastic news for everyone involved with the club.
