The Evening Standard have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to back Antonio Conte in January, with the Italian wanting three new players to be brought in.
Six new faces arrived through the door at Hotspur Way in the summer as the Lilywhites bulked up their squad to give themselves a better chance to compete on multiple fronts.
However, Spurs have had their fair share of injuries over the last few weeks, which has crippled Conte’s options off the bench.
The Italian admitted following Tottenham’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday that he has been frustrated by the injury problems and added that the Lilywhites need a stronger squad to compete with the top teams in the Premier League (Football.London).
The Evening Standard have now revealed that while the 53-year-old wants reinforcements in January, he has told the club that he is happy with the size of the squad.
The report explains that Spurs are expected to allow Bryan Gil, Japhet Tanganga and Pape Sarr to leave on loan in January, and Conte wants direct replacements for all three players. Conte may also have to decide whether or not to loan out Djed Spence.
The report added that Conte retains an interest in Inter Milan centre-back, Alessandro Bastoni.
Spurs Web Opinion
It was evident in the summer that Tottenham would have let Gil and Tanganga leave on loan in the summer if they could have bought in replacements for the pair, which they failed to do. So, that will understandably be the club’s priority when the transfer window reopens.
