Antonio Conte does not believe that Tottenham Hotspur’s massive investment in the transfer market so far this year is sufficient. According to the press, the coach feels that his team lacks the strength to be successful on multiple fronts, and the technical leadership shares this opinion.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski were acquired by Tottenham from Juventus in January, and Richarlison, Cristian Romero (who had already been hired), and Yves Bissouma were cut in the summer. Tottenham is third in the Premier League and is in first place in Group D of the Champions League, demonstrating the success of the Conte team. But Conte is thinking further than that.
After issues against Manchester United a few days prior, Tottenham lost to Newcastle at home on Sunday. Last Saturday, Conte lamented, “I can’t work miracles. I can’t afford to miss three or four players with this group.” The coach anticipates working on this in January.
Tottenham Hotspur’s massive investment expected to continue
At his press conference on Tuesday, Conte stated, “I think the people at the club realise very well that it is vital to bring in good players again in January.” The media jumped on it right away. Tottenham will reportedly once more agitate the transfer market during the upcoming transfer window, according to The London Evening Standard. It is possible to buy Conte’s happiness. The technical management also thinks Tottenham should get even better.
On paper, Conte believes he has a sufficient number of players, but the Italian coach claims that the substitutes are not up to par. He therefore, wants to replace players rather than add more. Candidates for making room in Tottenham’s locker room have been identified as Bryan Gil, Japhet Tanganga, and Pape Matar Sarr. Tottenham will play Sporting Portugal in the Champions League on Wednesday. Following this, they will travel to the south coast to take on Bournemouth this Saturday.
