Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on signing two centre-backs this summer to bolster Antonio Conte's squad and fill some expected gaps.
Conte wants at least two new centre-backs to arrive at Spurs during the coming transfer window, particularly if either Joe Rodon or Japhet Tanganga head out of the club in the next two months in search of regular football. The head coach and Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici discussed their planned targets at a meeting in Turin on Friday.
The priority first is a left-sided centre-back for the back three, to provide competition for Ben Davies who was Conte's only real choice in that role last season. What does not help Spurs is that football.london understands the duo's top two left-footed targets for the role - Alessandro Bastoni and Josko Gvardiol - are also among the most difficult to get at this moment in time.
