  'You make me proud,' says Antonio Conte, calling Harry Kane from Italy to congratulate him on becoming Tottenham's all-time leading scorer following his winner against Manchester City, as the Spurs manager recovers from surgery. With his 267th goal, Harry Kane became Tottenham's all-time leading scorer. Antonio Conte called Kane to congratulate him on his historic strike. Conte missed Tottenham's 1-0 win over Manchester City due to surgery. Following Tottenham's 1-0 win over Manchester City, Antonio Conte called Harry Kane to congratulate him on becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer.

  Tottenham wins 1-0. Man City: Harry Kane surpasses Jimmy Greaves as Spurs' all-time leading scorer with a well-taken winner, as the visitors fail to capitalise on Arsenal's shock defeat at Everton. Harry Kane breaks Jimmy Greaves' long-standing goalscoring record with 267 goals. Manchester City had a chance to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points, despite having played one more game. Pep Guardiola was visibly frustrated on the sidelines as City suffered their third consecutive away defeat. It wasn't the cleanest strike of Harry Kane's career, but it was a true centre forward's goal, so it was appropriate. A shot dug out from under his feet, the ball sailed off the turf, across and beyond Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson's right hand, and into the far corner of the net. Kane's 267th goal in a Tottenham shirt moved him ahead of the late Jimmy Greaves as the club's all-time leading scorer. That was one of two things that would have meant a

  STEVE PERRYMAN: Harry Kane is a fantastic player, but Jimmy Greaves was a genius who was the closest thing we've had to Lionel Messi... though the England captain will deserve all the praise he receives for breaking Tottenham's all-time scoring record. According to Steve Perryman, Harry Kane will surpass a genius in Jimmy Greaves. Kane only needs one goal to dethrone Greaves, who played with Greaves for six months in North London as Tottenham's record goal-scorer. Harry Kane may become Tottenham's all-time leading scorer on Sunday or later this month. Harry is an excellent payer, hard worker, and finisher. But Jimmy Greaves, the man whose record he is breaking, was a genius. I don’t use the word lightly nor this comparison: I think Jimmy is the closest thing we’ve had to Lionel Messi. The style, the panache, the finishing: I should be saying Messi was close to being Jim, he was that good. Some generations may not realise how much better he was than everyone else becau

  Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici, whose 30-month Italian FA ban is expected to be extended to the UK, is accused of overpaying for Atalanta midfielder Cristian Romero in order to solve a problem for Juventus. Fabio Paratici was banned for his role in Juventus' financial irregularities. After allegations that he overpaid for Cristian Romero, Paratici is under even more scrutiny. Tottenham strongly refutes the notion that they overpaid for the center back. Fabio Paratici's future at Tottenham is under scrutiny following allegations that he offered to pay exorbitant fees to sign Cristian Romero from Atalanta in order to solve a problem for his former club Juventus. The Italian FA banned Paratici for 30 months on Friday for his role in financial irregularities at Juve, where he worked for over a decade. This penalty is expected to be extended to the United Kingdom, putting his position as managing director of Tottenham Hotspur in jeopardy. Fabio Paratici's future as
