Reports: Tottenham to back Conte with six new summer signings (Cartilage Free Captain)

If the stories and reports coming out in the English football media one day after the end of the Premier League season are any indication, Tottenham Hotspur ...

The next step is to show intent by making a few signings early in the window — the new Premier League season begins on Sat. August 6 due to the winter World Cup in Qatar, while the transfer window doesn’t close until Monday, September 1. Multiple media outlets, including the Telegraph, Football.London, and The Athletic (£) are reporting today that, having secured a spot in next year’s Champions League competition, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to back manager Antonio Conte with six new signings in order to convince him to stay at Spurs for an additional season. This includes, according to both sources, six new players that are a mix of young, up-and-coming talents with resale value (Spurs’ bread and butter) along with older, veteran, peak-level players in order to push to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Report reveals what Levy promised Conte following Tottenham's ... (The Spurs Web)

The Athletic have revealed that Daniel Levy promised to back Antonio Conte in the summer following the Italian's outburst back in February after Spurs fell ...

In fact, that very moment was arguably the biggest turning point in our season and we might have not got top four without Conte’s ‘shock therapy’. I was extremely disappointed with Conte’s outburst in February and felt at the time that the Italian should walk away from the club if he did not want the job as I was tired of him constantly complaining to the press and acting as if this job was beneath him. Levy and Paratici were said to have met with Conte in the aftermath of his outburst and allegedly agreed with the 52-year-old that his ‘shock therapy’ was the only way forward.

Tottenham: Dan Kilpatrick has exciting transfer news for supporters (The Transfer Tavern)

Tottenham Hotspur journalist Dan Kilpatrick of The Evening Standard has now made an exciting transfer claim involving manager Antonio Conte.

Squad leaders Lloris, Dier & Kane believe club must seize the moment & not waste this chance to push on.” It’s little wonder senior Spurs players are ‘desperate’ for the Italian to be appeased this summer ahead of his first full campaign in charge. The Spurs head coach, after guiding his side to a previously unthought of finish in the Premier League top four, is reportedly plotting a major summer reshuffle behind-the-scenes.

His representatives have held talks with the Gunners and Jesus is believed to be a fan of Mikel Arteta's project - but they are open to other suitors. Conte has a year remaining on his contract but Spurs Managing Director of Football Fabio Paratici is planning to join his compatriot in Italy to encourage him to stay, report The Telegraph. The Italian is said to be considering his Tottenham future and will talk with his family before making a decision, as they are unlikely to move to London with him.

Paddy Power's dodgy lasagne stunt only spurs on Tottenham (The Drum)

Paddy Power has demonstrated its ability to think outside the (lasagne) box yet again after staging a 'suspect delivery' at Tottenham Hotspur's ground this ...

Unappetizing reviews of the lasagne include a vivid report from a Mr W.Enger, who estimates the putrid dish goes from plate to bowl in 90 minutes. And, with a trip to rock-bottom Norwich being the smallest final-day hurdle known to man, their qualification looks nailed on. Poorly camouflaged in pristine chef whites, the suspicious characters were seen scurrying into a service entrance in a none-too-subtle nod to the 2005/6 ‘lasagne-gate’ scandal, which saw the dodgy Italian meal scupper the team’s Champions League hopes after many players went down with food poisoning.

Tottenham: Antonio Conte returning Spurs to the Champions ... (CBSSports.com)

When Nuno Espirito Santo was fired in November, months after he was hired to lead Spurs, this team could've gone plenty of different ways. But, perhaps, only ...

Entering a critical summer, everything possible must be done to ensure that Spurs' golden manager stays in charge as he has already shown a taste of what he can do without the team even having a preseason under him. Decisions need to be made on the outside back positions and Ben Davies can't be expected to perform at this level as in the left center-back position for an entire season next year but selling Champions League soccer is always easier than selling the hope of it. Fabio Paratici is very aware of Conte's ways and can help ensure that if a target can't be afforded on Spurs' budget that someone comparable can be added. Conte's machine became a team that could beat you in many different ways and their return to Champions League is a signal that better days are on the horizon. There was doubt that this would be a relationship that worked as Levy prefers shopping in the bargain bin while Conte wants top shelf additions -- and some of those questions are still there entering the summer window -- but with that Champions League platform now there (and the extra money that goes along with it), the hope is that Spurs now can offer what Conte's transfer targets are looking for. After a summer window that saw them flit from name to name in their search to replace Jose Mourinho, almost appointing Gennaro Gattuso as manager before finally settling on Nuno, had Spurs got it wrong yet again when Nuno was fired it would have been disastrous.

Spurs: Alasdair Gold drops summer transfer claim (FootballFanCast.com)

What's the latest? Transfer Focus. In a recent post on Twitter, the football.london journalist revealed that Daniel Levy is set to back Antonio Conte fully in ...

In comments made after Sunday’s win, Conte said: “I am a person who has ambition and I like to fight for something important, to lift a trophy. As such, Gold’s claim that the 60-year-old chairman looks as if he will back his coach this summer is undoubtedly fantastic news for everyone involved with the Tottenham, as Conte has proven this season that he is capable of taking Spurs to the next level in the upcoming campaign. For me, [qualifying for the Champions League] is a trophy & I’m very happy.

Tottenham transfer window: Why Spurs face most crucial summer ... (iNews)

Qualifying for the Champions League was crucial to Spurs' aims but further improvements are required if the club is to end its long wait for silverware in ...

Conte, Kane and Son are all world-class and the pillars of Spurs’ project. It is also of paramount importance that new signings this summer adapt as quickly as Romero, Bentancur and Kulusevski have to ensure that Spurs are in a position to compete for honours right away. Nobody is quite sure what lies in store for Chelsea, but a takeover could galvanise the club after a slump in 2022. Fast forward to 22 May, 2022 when a beaming Son was being hoisted onto the shoulders of his team-mates after drawing level for goals with Mo Salah, Kane was fist-pumping the Spurs support and Antonio Conte was serenaded by fans drunk on jubilation. Closing the gap on both will be immensely difficult, particularly as Arsenal, Manchester United and maybe even Newcastle, will invest heavily in their squads. Not for the first time, Spurs are approaching a pivotal transfer window.

New transfer window starts with finishing the old one for Tottenham (HotspurHQ)

Tottenham Hotspur needs to complete a lot of transfer business this summer to appease Antonio Conte, that business starts with finishing the prior market.

Deki was nothing short of a godsend for Spurs in the second half of the season. Although he has an entire season left on his contract, Tottenham Hotspur has reached the point where things could go sideways with Conte. If Spurs’ hierarchy fails to back Conte in the transfer market, there is always the potential that the Italian could walk. Last summer, as cash was tight coming off a season without fans, Tottenham used the loan market to get an infusion of new talent into the club.

Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski and Liverpool's Luis Diaz have proved to be excellent January signings - but how do the two forwards compare?

Minutes per non-penalty goal: 253.4 If you want to win something, for sure you need players at the top, not medium level players.” “We knew [Diaz] was a top player,” Conte said earlier this month.
