Antonio Conte replaced Nuno Espírito Santo at Tottenham Hotspur last November and after enjoying a good run in the league, the Italian has seen his side struggle in recent weeks.
The former Chelsea manager granted an interview to Sky Italia , where he admitted Spurs are looking to bring in “young players, to be developed” and “not ready players”.
The north London club signed Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur in January. Despite publicly stating Tottenham did what they could in the winter market, the manager is ‘not totally satisfied’ with his side’s business in the last window.
It’s claimed the Italian ‘expects signings of players ready to win’. To do this, Conte could ‘go to assault’ his former club, Inter Milan, where Lautaro Martínez and Stefan de Vrij have been identified as targets.
Spurs chief Fabio Paratici can ‘try to please’ the Serie A winners by tabling a bid around €90-10m, for both the forward and the defender. Inter, on the other hand, could ask for €110-120m, including bonuses.
InterLive it make it clear operations to sign both Martínez and De Vrij are ‘difficult’, but if it’s carried out, it can make the Tottenham manager happy.
